Whether it was Skynet Airlines or Monster Industries, they did not expect such an effect after all channels of promotion!
In less than three hours after the video was released, one-third of the 70,000 seats of Skynet Airlines for the next day were bought.
This was when everyone did not believe that Skynet Airlines really had a plane that could fly, and they just wanted to join in the fun …
"Boss, what should we do?" Chang Wanyu was also confused. Now she looked at the background data. Many users were actually buying tickets randomly. The boarding location they chose was not in the same place as the city where their mobile phone was located. Some were hundreds of kilometers away, or even thousands of kilometers away.
"These users will definitely ask for a refund tomorrow."
"Then give it back to them." Ye Qing did not expect so many netizens to join in the fun. "So, the users who apply for a refund tomorrow. Not only will we refund the original price, but we will also give the users who refund an electronic ticket coupon worth 100 yuan. Passengers who confirm to board will be given a 50% discount directly, and the discount will be returned to them through WeChat. "
"By the way, even these users can refund the original price after boarding time."
"Okay, boss." Chang Wanyu expressed that she understood, but at the same time, she felt a little uneasy.
If they followed the traditional ticket change or refund model, the airline would not take back a ticket that had been sold at the original price anyway. They would definitely make some profits from the customers.
According to the booking process previously set, Skynet Airlines would also deduct a certain fee from the refund users.
This fee would not be much, but it was obviously impossible to implement now.
The source of Chang Wanyu's uneasiness was that this publicity strategy was set by her.
If they wanted to create more topics for Skynet Airlines, they had to quickly mobilize the attention of the netizens. If they released the news that Skynet Airlines was about to open flights step by step, then when people faced an aircraft that they had never seen before, they might be more confused and wait and see.
In the early stage, the netizens would most likely wait for someone to ride for a period of time. After confirming that the performance of this aircraft was stable enough, they would try it again.
The reputation of the Banshee aircraft would gradually explode.
If it was normal, it would be understandable to use a conventional publicity plan.
But now, Skynet Airlines must open the market as soon as possible.
Because the Spring Festival was coming.
Now it seemed that the publicity plan was very successful.
It was just unexpected that the netizens of Hua Xia were so interested in joining in the fun. One by one, they went to book tickets to play.
Ye Qing did not care about the refund, so he waved his hand to signal Chang Wanyu not to worry about it. He continued to ask, "How are the preparations at the airport?"
Chang Wanyu thought for a while and reported, "As of today, another airport's hardware has been completed. Now, there were six airports in the country that could be put into operation. There are also 12 airports that have already built boarding halls, but the ancillary facilities of the airports are not complete yet and cannot provide normal ground maintenance. "
"Of the remaining 32 airports, half of them can open temporary boarding gates. The other half have just started construction and do not have the conditions to open temporary boarding gates yet."
Ye Qing nodded. This number of airports was more than enough.
If it weren't for the fact that security checks were necessary, the delicate aircraft named Banshee could be like a bus, taking off and landing to transport passengers. Therefore, it was particularly tolerant of the requirements of the airport. For example, the temporary boarding gates that were ready to open only had a temporary hall for passengers to rest in and a few security devices.
"Tomorrow, Skynet Airlines will be officially launched. I'll have to trouble you for the next few days."
"Don't worry. Every post is led by an old employee of Red Seal Airlines."
Chang Wanyu firmly smiled. "Nothing will go wrong."
…
By 7: 00 p.m., all the tickets for Skynet Airlines were sold out.
Most of the passengers were just joining in the fun and would not choose to take the flight. But there were also a few who wanted to give it a try. They wanted to go home for the New Year anyway, but they couldn't buy tickets.
They might as well use this method to comfort themselves.
For the netizens who had booked tickets, this night was just waiting for the next day to refund their tickets.
But this night, the headquarters of Skynet Airlines and Monster Industries were brightly lit. Except for the flight crew, everyone else was working overtime.
Dozens of airport security devices that represented the latest technology of Monster Industries were dragged out of the warehouse by Monster Industries employees. This security device was the same size as an ordinary security gate, but much wider. It was packed and sent to Skynet Airlines' headquarters airport.
The first batch of 18 airports had 16 temporary boarding gates. These security gates were prepared for the temporary boarding gates.
The network department used the weather data provided by the National Meteorological Department to calculate and analyze the weather data on each route to see if it met the safety upper limit of the Banshee aircraft.
Skynet Airlines spent two months recruiting and training more than 400 pilots and more than 1,000 flight crew members. They had already packed their bags and were resting in the headquarters dormitory. Tomorrow, they would be busier than anyone else.
Most of the employees who didn't rest were busy at the airport behind.
In the next two months, this place would become the logistics headquarters of all the Banshee aircraft.
Most of the airports in the country hadn't been completed yet and couldn't provide normal logistical maintenance. After the Banshee aircraft's daily flight mission ended, they had to come here for inspection and maintenance.
At three in the morning, the pilots got up.
After 15 minutes of washing up, they came to the outside of Skynet Airlines' headquarters building.
There were 12 buses waiting for them.
After getting on the bus, the convoy went straight to the Longxitan factory.
These pilots, for the first time, appreciated the magnificent and busy night scene of the Longxitan factory. It was also the first time they saw the parking area built next to the Banshee aircraft production center.
There were now 240 Banshee aircraft.
Each Banshee aircraft was 24 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 7 meters tall. This width did not include the width of the engine, and the height did not include the height of the landing gear. It was purely the size of the fuselage.
These Banshee aircraft were neatly lined up and parked in the steel warehouse.
The snow in the sky was still falling. The top of dozens of warehouses, which covered hundreds of acres, was already covered with a thick layer of snow. Under the night sky, they flickered with a silver-white light that resembled metal.
These captains, who were wearing navy blue uniforms and mostly carrying three bars on their shoulders, had a deeper understanding of Monster Industries' strength after more than ten seconds of exclamation.
Powerful.
Powerful beyond imagination!
After sighing, someone said that the heavy snow in his hometown had crushed many warehouses this year. Monster Industries' warehouses looked bigger than football fields, but they didn't seem to be afraid of being crushed at all.
No one answered this question. Now, there were already dozens of towing vehicles in these warehouses. They began to drag the Banshee aircraft to the takeoff zone opposite the warehouse.
At the bottom of the Banshee aircraft's lifting support frame, there was a locking pulley. This was a technical improvement made by the factory according to the use environment. After these pulleys were unlocked, the aircraft could become the same as an ordinary aircraft, easy to drag.
Now, the aircraft were being dragged out one by one. The pilots were in groups of two and boarded the cockpits of the aircraft according to their numbers.
Soon, the originally quiet night sky was filled with endless high-speed roars. The Banshee aircraft covered the sky and the sun as they flew towards the headquarters of Skynet Aviation.
An hour later, the Banshee aircraft gathered at the headquarters airport.
The ground crew began to load the cargo warehouses of more than a dozen aircraft with security gates prepared for the temporary passage. The flight attendants in white flight attendants' uniforms also carried small leather suitcases. Their faces were full of amazement as they went through the security check and boarded the plane.
The scene of two hundred and forty Banshee flying machines gathered together was more amazing than any large scale scene or any natural scenery.
