Chapter 602 Made in China

    It¡¯s no wonder that Song Changzheng couldn¡¯t say a word. It was actually the airline¡¯s mistake in selecting the regional airliner.

    At that time, Ascendas Group¡¯s 50-seat regional passenger aircraft based on the advanced light transport platform had been confirmed and approved by a domestic expert group, hoping to compete for orders for 14 regional passenger aircraft from domestic airlines.

    As a result, after some evaluation, several airlines believed that Ascendas Group¡¯s regional jets were rolled off the production line later than expected, and that they adopted a large number of new technologies and their maturity had yet to be verified, so they were kicked out in the first round of review.

    Instead, we turned our attention to foreign countries, hoping to introduce a mature and reliable regional passenger aircraft model.

    Up to this point, no one criticized anything. Even Ascendas Group itself agreed with the airline's statement. After all, the advanced light transportation platform at that time was just a self-research project of Ascendas Group. It was normal for many things to be imperfect, and it was okay not to be favored.  There is nothing to say, not to mention that this is not the first time that the advanced light transport platform has hit a wall. It has been hit hard in the Air Force and Navy before.

    If those airlines can introduce a popular aircraft model, they can maintain their advantages while ensuring that operating costs are maintained at a low level.

    ¡°As a result, I don¡¯t know what style the leaders of several airlines are following. There are so many regional airliners on the market, but they chose the Bae-146 produced by British Aerospace Corporation.

    An alternative model with less than 100 seats but using four turbofan engines.

    We must know that when an aircraft is in operation, the maintenance cost of the engine accounts for more than 40% of the overall maintenance cost. Because of this, airlines favor twin-engine long-range passenger aircraft because compared to other types of aircraft, this type of aircraft has low maintenance costs and high efficiency.

    This is also an important reason why when aerospace engines made breakthroughs, twin-engine wide-body passenger aircraft such as the Boeing-777 and Boeing-787 swept the market, while the giant A380 four-engine large passenger aircraft collapsed.

    In fact, the maintenance costs of the two are not in the same order of magnitude.

    The same principle applies to regional airliners. Twin-engine regional airliners are definitely more cost-effective than four-engine ones. The result is something that even entry-level aviation novices know. The leaders of several airlines actually don¡¯t follow.  I saw the same thing and ignored it without any warning.

    That¡¯s it, four engines are four engines. The key is that the Bae-146 regional passenger aircraft is not a best-seller. The production and supply of spare parts are not sufficient. Some key parts even require special customization and are completely dependent on imports.  This further pushes up the operating costs of bae-146.

    Of course, this is not bad. After all, when it was introduced in the mid-1980s, the domestic trade relations with the West were pretty good. However, by the end of the 1980s, the international situation was turbulent. Although British Aerospace still fulfilled the contract, it failed to supply spare parts.  The intermittent operation has resulted in a very low integrity rate of the Bae-146, which has once again pushed up the operating costs. In addition, air accidents due to malfunctions occur from time to time, which in turn causes the entire fleet to be in a semi-grounded state.

    From the introduction in 1986 to the semi-grounded status in the early 1990s, the whole process lasted only five years. The fleet that was exchanged for huge amounts of foreign exchange was just lying around, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

    So the leaders of several airlines retreated and retreated. It was against this background that Song Changzheng took over as the general manager of United Airlines.

    However, due to the previous adjustment storm, their entire business philosophy became conservative, and they began to tighten their investment in regional airliners and focus on the operation of mainline airliners that ensured profitability.

    Anyway, the domestic aviation market is not yet perfect, and many places do not even have airports. Regional passenger planes are not of much use, so why bother with unnecessary trouble?

    What should I do if someone is not good enough and is tricked again?

    Yes, the previous leaders of the airline were indeed deceived. They really wanted to find a cost-effective regional airliner. They selected many models from around the world, but the prices were not ideal.  At this time, British Aerospace came over with Bae-146 and quoted it to domestic airlines at an incredibly low price.

    After that, cheap is not good, and good goods are not cheap, although it cannot be generalized, it still makes sense in some ways. This is especially true of aviation products. It is really not just talking about the so -called penny and a penny.

    "Xiaozhuang, what about this matter? If you ask me to tell you, I can't say anything. You also know that because of the BAE-146 incident, all aircraft purchasing rights were taken back by the Civil Aviation Administration of China. You asked me to buy an airplane  ¡­¡±

    I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Song Changzheng finally let out a long sigh, spread his hands and opened the skylight and said clearly: ¡°I really don¡¯t have this power.¡±

    "Old Song, don't take it to heart. I just feel aggrieved and have to say a few angry words."

    Seeing Song ChangzhengHe became serious, Zhuang Jianye laughed, as if what he said just now was not his own, picked up the kettle and helped Director Song pour a glass of water, and said with an undiminished smile: "I just want to fight for the purchase of aircraft.  Strive for it, it will work, and I don't care if it doesn't work, we can't hurt our harmony, right?"

    Song Changzheng was a little startled, wondering who had just brought up such a serious topic, with such an attitude of raising an army to accuse him, that he almost went to the central government to complain.

    As a resulthe changed his face like this?

    "My heart is not good, Xiaozhuang. If you have any bad ideas, just tell me. Don't torment an old man like me." Song Changzheng didn't have any intention of playing a roller coaster with Zhuang Jianye, so he made it clear.

    Zhuang Jianye didn¡¯t care either, he chuckled and said, ¡°You can¡¯t decide the whole machine, can you do the accessories?¡±

    "Accessories?" Upon hearing these two words, Song Changzheng's eyes suddenly lit up like an artificial intelligence activated by current: "Zhuang'er~~can you get accessories?"

    "You should first tell me whether you can make the decision."

    "Yes, yes, that's great." Song Changzheng nodded like a fool, then leaned down and looked at Zhuang Jianye with an old face like a chrysanthemum: "Zhuang~~ Where did you get your accessories? Are they original ones from Europe and the United States or Canada or Brazil?  Imitation?"

    "Made in China!" Zhuang Jianye did not hesitate.

    Song Changzheng felt as if he had seen a ghost when he heard this. He looked Zhuang Jianye up and down for a while, and then he exclaimed: "Did you make it yourself?"

    "What? You still dislike it? Don't tell me, you planes that are about to fall asleep still have time to be picky."

    "No, I'm talking about Xiaozhuang, those things are not ordinary gadgets, they are airplanes. If they are not handled properly, people will be killed!" After Song Changzheng understood, he shook his head like a rattle, airplane accessories  This thing is no joke. Even if it is difficult to import parts and the maintenance rate of the fleet is poor, we cannot fool around in this regard. What if something happens?

    Seeing Song Changzheng's resolute attitude, Zhuang Jianye wanted to say something else, but he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door. It was obvious that something had happened. After all, it was during the exercise. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst, so Zhuang Jianye and Director Song  Looking at each other, Song Changzheng, who was leaning against the door, immediately stood up, opened the door, blocked an officer and asked, "What happened?"

    The officer knew Song Changzheng and said hurriedly: "A civilian airliner has broken down and needs to land at an alternate airport. We need to prepare quickly."
