There would be no problem before 35 knots …
What was the concept of a wind speed of 35 knots?
The wind could travel a distance of 65,000 meters in an hour. If it was converted to wind, it would be a gale between the seventh and eighth level. It was obviously difficult for people to walk at this wind speed, and their umbrellas would be directly blown apart.
In this case, if a Boeing plane with wings dared to land, it would be directly flipped in the air by the wind.
A few hours later, the very arrogant banshee aircraft arrived as scheduled.
The airport weather station measured the real-time wind speed over the airport was 19 knots.
"Reporting to the tower, we have arrived over Shezhou Airport and request to land."
"You …" The tower radio contact person didn't know what to say. In the end, he had to say, "It's up to you."
The take-off and landing standards implemented by various airlines were different. In some weather situations, Airline A might not allow its plane to land, but Airline B would think it was okay. Just like last year when there were several foggy days, Aeroflot dared to let its planes land blindly when all the flights were diverted to other airports.
The real-time weather data over the airport had been sent to them, and it was up to them to decide whether to land or not.
Then.
Manager Xu Qianyang and the tower staff saw the red aircraft descend from the sky in the snowstorm.
The whole landing process took less than twenty seconds.
Perhaps the snowstorm was too heavy and the weather was too cold, the banshee aircraft hurriedly dropped a bunch of air mail and ran away. They said on the radio that they were flying to Tongling, where there were still passengers waiting for them.
"Why, why can they land?" Manager Xu Qianyang was almost driven crazy by the snow and wind problems.
The airport had been closed off on and off for three days. How many passengers had been stranded at the airport and how many flights had been canceled in these three days? However, when Manager Xu Qianyang tried to check the flight information of Skynet Airlines, he was shocked to find that since the start of the Spring Festival, their flights had not been canceled or delayed.
No matter where it was, no matter how heavy the snow was, they would land without error.
This incident might be a small episode. After Manager Xu Qianyang was envious, he could only continue to devote himself to the work of fighting against the snow and ice. Remove the snow and ice from the airport and the plane. Once the wind speed weakened, they immediately rushed to fly the plane.
But the passengers were unwilling.
They could see the situation on the runway from the airport waiting hall. The Banshee aircraft of Skynet Airlines landed gracefully and flew away. The passengers who were stranded at the airport could no longer suppress their anger.
Why?
Why could the Banshee Flying Machine fly but not the other airlines?
The passengers, anxious to return home, did not understand the crosswind speed, nor did they understand that the combustion chamber's thrust was insufficient. They did not want to listen to the explanation of the airport staff. After seeing the Banshee flying machine come and go, they began to protest collectively.
The staff's excuses were in stark contrast to the huge figure of the banshee Fei Qi when she left.
At some point, someone could no longer stand the endless wait and began to shout angrily. Soon most of the passengers were agitated. They were shouting that the airport had to give an explanation. Call the manager. If the manager couldn't solve it, call the mayor.
The passengers waiting at the airport were rather restrained. They only used words to express their anxiety and anger.
But if this situation was not appeased as soon as possible, who knew if the passengers would eventually express their opinions through actions?
Of the more than 10,000 passengers trapped at the airport, a quarter of them were foreigners. They had come to Hua Xia for a vacation, but now they were trapped at the airport. It was not just their time that was affected. Before they traveled, their itinerary had been arranged before they left. They could not just see the scenery of Mount Huangshan and leave. They had to go to other cities.
This included the return flight tickets, which had to be booked in advance.
The other airlines would not care about the reason why you could not arrive on time, and would not be kind enough to refund the bill that you had already paid.
The situation at the airport was slightly abnormal. The government staff who acted as volunteers at the scene immediately reported it to the mayor's office.
Not long after, the mayor rushed over.
The mayor was not a mage. He could not stop the wind and snow. He could only catch the airport manager, Xu Qianyang, and scold him fiercely. He told him that no matter what, he had to immediately calm the passengers' emotions.
Shizhou City was backed by Mount Huangshan. As the saying goes, those who rely on the mountain eat the mountain, not to mention a world-famous mountain. Shizhou City was a tourist attraction. No matter who they offended, they could not offend the passengers. How many similar lessons were there these days?
How many tourist attractions had offended the passengers because they were awesome? In the end, they became like Chernobyl in a few days.
They thought they were awesome, but in fact, they were living in a dream.
The airport manager, Xu Qianyang, roared in grievance. He said that what could the airport do? They could coordinate with the railway station to send the passengers there and let the train take them out of Shizhou.
Of course, this plan would not work. The railway department was even busier than the airport. All the vehicles were fully arranged. It was impossible to drive away those who had booked tickets. Besides, if they were sent out of Shizhou, where would they send them?
The mayor, a layman, had no choice but to push the problem to the airport, an expert.
The latter simply made up his mind and said that it was not impossible to solve the problem.
But …
It was up to Shizhou City to see if they were willing to spend the money.
The manager of Shizhou Airport, Xu Qianyang, came up with a very rough idea.
He sent a distress message to the headquarters of Skynet Airlines, asking them to send the banshee aircraft to Shizhou Airport after the flights were suspended at night.
He had checked and found that Skynet Airlines did not have night flights. According to the practice of various airlines, the planes that did not have flights at night would fly to the base airport for routine maintenance.
A banshee aircraft could carry hundreds of people. If they could send 50 of them, wouldn't they be able to take away all the passengers at the airport?
There were more than 10,000 passengers at Shizhou Airport, and there were more than 10,000 in the various hotels in the city. As long as Skynet Airlines was willing, Shizhou Airport could coordinate with the civil aviation department and let the banshee aircraft transport all the passengers away.
These passengers were all passengers who had spent money to buy tickets. If the ticket money was withdrawn from the various airlines and transferred to Skynet Airlines …
Then Shizhou City might be enough to subsidize two to three million yuan.
This idea was very good, provided that the banshee aircraft company was willing.
…
When Ye Qing rushed back to Skynet Airlines, all 280 banshee aircraft under the company were parked at the base airport.
These 280 banshee aircraft were parked in the 50-acre parking area planned by the airport. All the aircraft were connected to high-voltage charging stations. While replenishing the energy, the ground crew also carried out a detailed cleaning of the cabin of each banshee aircraft.
Chang Wanyu reported the situation at Shizhou Airport in detail and asked Ye Qing to make a decision.
This was not a matter of earning money. The aircraft needed pilots to control it. Now, every pilot's work schedule was full. If they changed their plans rashly, the pilots might not have enough sleep to bear the next day's work.
"Are the pilots tired?"
"I calculated the time. If we go to Shizhou Airport to help them transport the passengers, the whole trip will take about three hours. We will arrive at the airport in an hour, and then transport the passengers to their destination airport within an hour. The banshee aircraft will come back. "
Chang Wanyu rubbed her delicate chin and pondered, "I think as long as Shizhou Airport is willing to pay double the flight subsidies, the pilots should be able to endure a night of hard work."
"I also asked the pilots. Everyone was very positive."
"It's just that we have to speed up the work of the aviation driving school. The civil aviation department stipulates that each pilot can't fly more than 1,000 hours a year. If we continue to fly like this, I'm afraid we can only fly for half a year. "
"Half a year is enough." Ye Qing nodded. In two days, Director Ding would start the shooting of Skynet Airlines' promotional video. At that time, he would insert an advertisement for pilot students. In a few months, the pilots would be able to cook dumplings.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing said, "Reply to Shizhou Airport and ask them to arrange the boarding of passengers immediately."
"As soon as the banshee aircraft arrives, the passengers must arrive within 20 minutes."
"Our time is precious. There can't be any delay."
"Understood."
Half an hour later, more than 10,000 passengers at Shizhou Airport became more and more impatient. Over Banshee Airport, 200 banshee aircraft took off.
