Taoxian Airport in the early 1990s was far less busy than it would be in the future. Against the backdrop of the vast and empty airport runway, an ultra-small passenger plane with black stripes was docked alone on the airport's tarmac No. 3 against the vast and empty airport runway.

The civil aviation boarding in royal blue uniforms, standing at the boarding door at the rear of the plane, looks extra tall.

Liang Yuan visually measured that the upper single-wing small passenger aircraft with two propellers in front of him, even if the wheels were to be killed, it was only the height of three flight attendants.

"Wow, wow, it's actually Short 360. Is this a surprise arranged by Xiaoyuan?"

"Hey, why is it a civil aviation logo? Why is it not a United Airlines plane?"

"Xiaoyuan, when did you get the Short 360 back to China? Why don't we know?"

"Pig Head, what are you surprised, pretending to be unaware of it."

The two girls didn't board the plane, but stood at the exit of the boarding passage and asked a lot of questions like gunfire.

In the aviation industry, Yuanjia's executives in Europe have been arguing with Britain and Germany for more than a year. In order to deal with these two difficult products, Liang Yuan even made a big news about the acquisition of Jardines in Hong Kong. Under this continuous high-density information bombardment, both the past and present of Schott Aircraft Company knew very well and memorized it.

After 90 years, the Germans with ulterior motives were enthusiastically involved in the match between COMAC and McDonald. COMAC, McDonald and MBB were in love and mixed together, and they became increasingly moving towards the direction of dry-wood and fire-rolling floors. Now the British pretended to be arrogant and could not sit still.

As early as half a month ago, the three parties who had been arguing for more than a year reached a unified consensus in London two months earlier than Liang Yuan expected. The Federal German CMB Aerospace's acquisition offer for the British Short Aircraft Company was also officially sent to the UK. The relevant departments of Germany conducted an audit. According to the laws in the relevant fields of the two countries, as of May 15, 1990, if the two governments did not express their objections in the form of written notices, then CMB Aerospace's acquisition of Short Aircraft Company will automatically take effect within the two countries.

In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, half a month later, the pocket-sized Schott 360 propeller regional passenger aircraft in front of the three will officially become one of Yuanjia's products.

The two girls are always the most interested in visiting their own shopping malls and taking their own planes.

At a sensitive moment when CMB Aerospace was about to take over Short, watching the sudden emergence of the Short 360 passenger plane, the twins really thought this was a trial product that Liang Yuandian used COMAC's influence to get back from Europe.

"Jia Jia, Feifei, this plane really doesn't matter to me. If I really brought the Short 360 back to China, how could Aunt Ning miss the opportunity to expand the United Airlines fleet? You two don't know that the United Airlines fleet is all BAC1-11, but after the reorganization, no branch route was opened."

Because its fleets are narrow-body trunk passenger aircraft, United Airlines has no daily operations for flights like Shengjing to Qinhuangdao. The Schott 360 parked in front of the three was purchased in bulk from the UK in the mid-1980s by the Southern Administration of Civil Aviation of the Republic.

At present, the Schott 360 regional passenger plane has been in service in the Republic for five or six years, mainly serving the southern part of the Republic where the railway network was relatively sparsely constructed.

However, the reason why this Short 360 appeared on the route from Shengjing to Qinhuangdao is not only related to the major internal changes in the Republic's civil aviation system, but also has a certain connection with Liang Yuan.

In 1990, the separation of the Republic's civil aviation into the six key airlines in the East, the South, the Southwest, the Northwest and the North has been settled. The six major airlines will complete the spin-off of all assets of the former Republic's civil aviation by the end of the year at the latest.

As the vanguard of regional reform in the Republic, China Southern Airlines, located in Guangdong, has an extremely active business thinking. With the opportunity of Northern Airlines being busy with the establishment, China Southern Airlines quietly penetrated its tentacles into its competitors' home court. After all, in the civil aviation spin-off plan, Northern Airlines' main base will be set up in Shengjing. In the early days of its establishment, Northern Airlines' main route network was mainly the three eastern provinces.

This Short 360 is a survey of the market and routes of competitors using the management misalignment and time difference when China Southern Airlines successively splits out civil aviation assets.

Because the construction of the Northeast railway network in the Republic is relatively complete, the passenger flow of regional airlines in the north of the Republic, especially in the Northeast region, is far less than that in the south of the Republic. Therefore, the Republic Northern Airlines, which is being established at this time, has focused its attention on United Airlines, which has the same main base as itself, and has basically ignored China Southern Airlines' small actions.

Of course, due to the unexpected rise of Yuanjia, Shengjing's passenger flow began to explode. The Shengjing-Hong Kong, Shengjing-Wusong-Guangzhou, Shengjing-Beijing-Beijing routes, which were launched one after another, took only five months to evolve from one flight per week at the beginning of the route to another day's flight, and then turned into a Japanese flight that was open all year round.

It can be said that since August 2019, the monthly passenger and cargo throughput of Shengjing Taoxian Airport has increased by more than 60%.

During the Chinese New Year, Tang Wan once had a joke with Liang Yuan. Judging from Yuanjia's development speed, Taoxian Airport reached its peak of passenger traffic with an annual throughput of 900,000 passengers, which will never be later than the end of 1993.

In the past history, the second phase expansion project of Shengjing Taoxian Airport was launched in 1997. Due to Yuanjia's emergence, Shengjing's mayor Fu Qili is currently organizing capable forces to closely monitor the passenger and cargo flow of Taoxian Airport. Once the airport's passenger and cargo throughput increased by more than 50% this year, Shengjing City will officially apply to the state to launch the second phase expansion project of Taoxian Airport before the Lunar New Year.

It is precisely because of these factors that Taoxian Airport's monthly passenger flow growth rate has entered the top five in the country for nine consecutive months. This is also the main factor for China Southern Airlines to sneak into the Short 360 into Shengjing to open a branch route.

After all, the airport has a limited area and an effective service area, which is so large. As a service base, Taoxian has already accommodated the main bases of two large airlines, and there is absolutely no space left for other airlines.

The three passengers who didn't board the plane at the end of this flight suddenly stopped at the exit of the boarding passage, and said something from time to time to the direction of the passenger plane. The Southern Airlines steward who was still in the name of civil aviation was a little anxious.

Could it be that the passengers were hesitant when they looked at the plane and were worried about the safety of flight? Although the Short 360 was a little small, the safety performance of the flight was no different from that of large passenger planes such as the B737 and A320.

Seeing that the flight's departure time was getting closer and closer, the pilot who flew this flight frequently looked in this direction through the sidewind gear opened by the driving cabin. The flight attendant of China Southern Airlines pressed his anxiety in his heart, took a deep breath, and then waved at Liang Yuan and the other two with a smile on his face.

"Three people~~~~, comrades of passengers, flight CA711 to Qinhuangdao is here."

Although Liang Yuan and the two girls both looked like standard young girls, the long black windbreaker with three people and the silver-framed sunglasses on the collar of the windbreaker finally changed the comrade who was sneaking to the mouth of the stewardess to change to a more ordinary and mature comrade.

"Don't stand there and watch it, it's time for the pilot to jump down and pull people."

Liang Yuan smiled and patted the two girls on the shoulders, then used his eyes to signal the two girls to pay attention to the plane's cockpit and look over frequently from the direction of the plane's cockpit.

"You can actually experience the products produced by the group in advance. The beginning of this holiday is quite exciting."

"Xiaoyuan, the Short 360 is also a propeller-driven one. It's not the same as the aerial tractor we used to ride in the past two years, right?"

It is obvious that after the Nansha Battle was over, Tang Wan fooled the three of them to Zhanjiang in the name of a special plane. The two girls had an extra deep impression of the long-distance air trip.

"How is that possible? You two don't even look at the Eighth Master's bloodline. Without the foundation of military aircraft, there is no capital to serve as a tractor."

Seeing the three of them walking with their bags and laughing to the rear cabin door of Short 360, the flight attendant of China Southern Airlines obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and all passengers arrived on the flight and finally could take off on time.
