Ye Qing got up again and hurried back to Skynet Airlines headquarters.

Because the Jianping Airport in Shezhou City, Hui Province, the distress message sent is very urgent, and the content has never been seen.

…

Shezhou City in Hui Province is located on the edge of Huangshan Mountain, which is known as a global geological park. The average elevation is over 500 meters above sea level, and the surrounding mountain peaks can be seen everywhere.

A continuous heavy snow has turned the city into another white scenery at the same time.

It also brought huge troubles to the traffic in Shezhou City.

Shezhou City has an airport and two railway stations. The railway station is okay, with heavy snow covering the railway, but each railway station is equipped with snow shoveling locomotives. As long as a large bucket is installed on the locomotive, the entire railway can be cleaned up.

This will bring some delays to railway travel, but compared to airports, railways are already considered happy.

Shezhou Airport is built in a mountainous area. Even if there is no heavy snow, Shezhou Airport has always been an airport in the central and western regions of Jiangnan, with the most complicated take-off and landing situation.

This airport does not even have an international standard 4F runway. Because the wind often exceeds the standard, there are also requirements for the type of aircraft that take off and land. Large aircraft do not have the conditions to land at this airport.

Now that the heavy snow never stops, the Shezhou Airport can naturally only be closed to the end.

Of course, the passengers who are most affected by the airport closure are passengers, especially now it is the Spring Festival travel season. Passengers who come to Shezhou for sightseeing, who is not anxious and wants to go home?

These passengers are not only domestic passengers, but a quarter are foreign passengers.

Shezhou is on the verge of Huangshan Mountain, and the reputation of Huangshan Mountain is of course undisputed. Foreign tourists are indispensable at any time. At this time, near the Spring Festival, many foreigners think that they can see the scenery of Huangshan Welcome Pine and enjoy the unique Chinese New Year.

It’s a pity that Huangshan was blocked by the sudden heavy snow, and the scenery was not seen. They were trapped at the airport and couldn’t go back.

Shezhou Airport has gone crazy.

The airport manager Xu Qianyang has been soaking in the airport for three consecutive days. Now on the only runway in the airport, there are not only professional snow and ice removal vehicles, but also many airport staff who are using tools to clean out places that machines cannot take care of.

There are eight boarding seats and eight planes parked.

Around these planes, there are also staff members who are deicing and removing snow and ice on the fuselage of the plane at any time.

But the heavy snow never stopped, and at the same time the wind direction and the position of the runway were inconsistent, and the crosswind was blowing.

More than 10,000 passengers have been stranded here at the airport, and there are close to this number of passengers staying in various hotels in the city. In order to accommodate the more than 10,000 passengers stranded at the airport, the local airport and the government specially organized more than 200 volunteers to give them free lunches, folding beds for rest, and quilts.

The food, clothing, housing and transportation can be solved, but the passengers can’t solve it with anger.

The originally clean and tidy Shezhou Airport has become a vegetable market. The messy and exhausted passengers simply find an open space to sit on and put their luggage aside as a temporary settlement.

“I don’t want to hear your explanations. I don’t care about your free box lunches. I just want to go home. You tell me when the plane will take off.”

“The plane can’t do it, so you can give me a train ticket.”

“Why don’t you arrange a hotel for us? The cancellation of the flight is clearly your fault, but let us wait at the airport. Can’t you afford to pay for the hotel room?”

“Coming to you is the worst trip I have ever encountered in my life. I want to post my experience to the circle of friends, so that everyone can see the unscrupulous style of Shezhou Airport.”

Whenever the airport staff tried to calm the emotions of the passengers, the passengers had to seize the opportunity to hit the staff’s ears with a loud enough volume.

The airport manager Xu Qianyang doesn’t even have the courage to go to the lobby to appease passengers, because yesterday he was almost blocked in a corner by angry passengers. He can only hide in the airport tower, praying that the heavy snow will stop as soon as possible.

Of course, I didn’t pray until the snow stopped, and when it came to the civil aviation department’s document prayer came one after another.

From the first question, to serious criticism, and finally, the whole industry focuses on the criticism.

It can be said that Shezhou Airport has become a breakpoint in this Spring Festival transport link.

This evening.

The telephone in the command room of the Shezhou Airport Tower kept ringing. There were news reported by various departments of the airport, and there were also questioning calls from outsiders. The airport manager Xu Qianyang answered one call after another.

The worried manager Xu Qianyang had just hung up the phone there, before he had time to look at the heavy snow outside the window. The secretary came over again in a hurry and whispered in his ear, “Manager, Mr. Mayor personally called and asked you to pick it up.”

“Call again?” Manager Xu Qianyang’s cheeks swelled, aggrieved and helpless: “There’s still more to come. What’s the point of ganging up to bully me a little manager?”

“I haven’t moved from the airport for three days. What else does he want to do? He wants to force me to death?”

“Manager, calm down, the mayor doesn’t understand your helplessness…”

The secretary said nicely, but as soon as the manager Xu Qianyang answered the phone, the mayor did not even give him a chance to speak, and immediately criticized him severely.

“Xu Qianyang, no matter what method you use, the airport must resume operations tomorrow morning.”

“Now our Shezhou has become famous. The Office of the Leadership of the Spring Festival Transport Work, today we called three times, and the Civil Aviation Administration of China just issued a document to severely criticize our Shezhou Airport.”

“This is a human irresistible factor, the Mayor.” Manager Xu Ganyang’s eyebrows were frowned, and he shouted: “This heavy snow does not stop, how do you let me drive the airport?”

“Is it important to be criticized, or is the safety of passengers important?”

“Come on~ Then tell me, why is it snowing at Jinling Airport, so people can fly out the flight?”

“Why is it snowing in several other airports in Huizhou, so their plane can fly in the sky?”

“Mayor, you don’t understand.”

Manager Xu Qianyang argued for reasons, “There are many runways in other airports, and some of them are divided into T1 and T2 terminals. The directions of the runways are different, and they can just meet the requirements of crosswind and headwind takeoff and landing.”

“Our airport has only one runway. Crosswinds have been blowing over the airport. I just cleared the snow on the runway. But with this visibility, which airline would dare to fly?”

“Which aircraft can you guarantee that their aero engines will not reduce the combustion temperature and thrust of the combustion chamber due to the inhalation of flying snow?”

The manager Xu Qianyang’s argument caused the mayor to be choked almost speechless.

He naturally doesn’t understand these professional things, but he understands better. It is best not to try to use airplanes to prove whether these theories are correct.

After a few harsh words, the mayor had to hang up the phone.

Then, as soon as the phone hung up, the sound of an electric bell came to mind in the control room.

This time it was not the phone that rang, but the radio station.

Since the airport side yesterday, the whole team has finally secured a few flights after taking off. So far, there has been no news from the radio station for the whole day.

After all, the airport is closed.

Many departments on the tower side were free, and the manager Xu Qianyang mobilized all of them to go outside to take part in the work against ice and snow, leaving only the personnel in important positions to work overtime here.

Now there is a signal call.

“Call the tower, this is the Skynet Aviation Banshee 109 aircraft.”

“We previously submitted a flight application and wanted to land at your airport to deliver a batch of SF Express airmail, but control has never responded to us.”

“Please also control over there, send us the detailed weather information of the airport, and we apply to land at your airport.”

“If you approve, we can take off from the Zhongyun headquarters airport in ten minutes and fly to your airport.”

The liaison officer glanced at the side of the snow removal control, and then replied listlessly: “Don’t come, the airport is closed, and now the crosswind is at 19 knots. Your aircraft must be very resistant to crosswinds. Bar.”

Nineteen knots is a speed unit, and how many knots are commonly used in airports to represent wind speed. One knot means that the wind speed reaches one nautical mile within one hour, which is similar to the speed of a ship.

For example, the Airbus 320 aircraft has a maximum crosswind limit of 15 knots. If the wind exceeds this speed, the aircraft may lose control in a crosswind.

“Is it only nineteen?”

“No problem after thirty-five knots.” The pilot on the Banshee 109 aircraft spoke louder than the crosswind at their airport.
