Chapter 748 Hainan Aerospace Industrial Park

The current situation of general aviation in China is "It is not difficult to buy a plane, but it is difficult to fly; you can afford to buy a plane, but you can't afford to maintain a plane." It is said that a domestic rich man bought a plane and was unable to fly far due to various conditions. In anger, he simply set up an airline to specifically solve this problem. Although this is an extreme example, it is enough to remind Zhang Shengli that if you want to promote general aviation in China, you cannot do it with enthusiasm and funds.

Yang Xing explained that his airline's success is just an exception, and that its business is mainly concentrated on cargo at this stage. Although it is planning to build a low-cost airline, its operation headquarters is still located in Hong Kong, just to spare many domestic aviation control measures. The future development depends on national policies. It is a typical example of riding a donkey and reading a songbook. If you go all the way, don't dream of relaxing low-altitude air rights overnight and everyone is driving private planes to swim in the blue sky.

Of course, Yang Xing poured a basin of cold water on Zhang Shengli, but he still had to give him hope. He pointed out that as of now, the more reliable method is to first experience the private flight addiction in business aircraft companies under several major state-owned airlines in China. These companies have purchased a batch of business passenger aircraft from abroad to provide them to high-end customers, such as the famous Gulfstream, Haoke and Boeing BBJ.

The low-cost airline that Yang Xing prepared this time was also a joint venture with Hainan Airlines to obtain the domestic route operation rights. As the only fully-share company in China, Zhongxing has now become the major shareholder of HNA. In order to thank Yang Xing for his contribution to the Hainan International Tourism Island project, HNA acquiesced Zhongxing to have a great say in its operations. Zhang Shengli only wants to show off. Hainan Airlines' business jet company and his Hong Kong Xinghai Business Airlines can provide him with luxury business jet charging scenes.

Jinlu Airlines, a subsidiary of HNA, is the largest business airline in China. It simply enjoys the service of traveling around in the movie. There is no need to buy your own plane, and you can rent the company's plane directly. Yang Xing also pointed out to Zhang Shengli that even if you buy a plane yourself, you will give it to a business jet company like Jinlu for maintenance and maintenance. If you need it, let the airline come forward to handle all the procedures for takeoff. It can save you a lot of worry. There is no need to worry about the long and complicated approval procedures and the parking and maintenance of love aircraft. This is also the practice of most wealthy people in the world using private jets.

This is also the experience that Yang Xing personally experienced. He bought several private jets at the beginning. Because of the aviation control, he could not dock at several major Star City airports in the mainland, so he had to settle in Hong Kong. Hong Kong adopted the international aviation industry standard business aviation model, which can independently determine the route and flight time, and achieve the ability to fly from any airport to any airport at any time. Later, the company expanded. The number of business aircraft of the group grew rapidly. In order to meet the needs, Xinghai Airlines simply acquired a private jet service company in Hong Kong to provide business flight services specifically to the top management of the group. This is the predecessor of the upcoming Xinghai Low-cost Airlines.

Yang Xing told Zhang Shengli that the aircraft is very delicate, and you have to pay a large tariff for buying a plane in China, which is several times the price of a foreign aircraft. Such a luxurious plane is parked at the airport and it is probably no one is willing to do it when it is windy and rainy. Then a whole service team needs to repair it. At present, it can only be done by a certain airline in China. Zhang Shengli really bought a Boeing BBJ passenger plane, and there are only two places that can meet his requirements. Hainan or Hong Kong.

After the reform, the living standards of the people continued to improve, which led to a group of valuable aviation enthusiasts in China. When Jiudu and Hainan opened the air rights experiment, they set up a number of aviation clubs that operate aviation teaching and tourism with them. Although it was expensive to become members and could only fly a few small planes or rotorcraft most of the time, it still attracted many people to register, and they lined up every day to register. Tourists who only had more than ten minutes to watch the scenery were a beautiful scenery in the local tourism industry.

Several domestic cities with aviation foundation have proposed the requirement to establish aviation and industrial parks and open low-altitude aviation rights experimental zones. Internationally, they believe that the per capita GDP of US$4,000 is the basic condition for the development of general aviation. Now it seems that the economic and technical conditions in many regions in China are mature. Everything is ready, but the east wind is not available. This is why some wealthy people urged Zhang Shengli to let Yang Xing stand out.

Since Hainan has an economic foundation and has always been committed to attracting high-end tourism customers, it is undoubtedly the most eager to promote general aviation. It hopes to promote the development of general aviation in the province, so that the aerospace industry can become the new economic pillar of Hainan. There is a general understanding in the aviation industry that large aircraft and trunk aviation are national behaviors, and general aviation development is mostly market behavior led by local governments, and it can be regarded as a regional industrial form. The benefits of developing general aviation will mostly remain in the local area, such as increasing local taxes, promoting employment, and driving the development of local related industries. At the same time, the aerospace industry is a typical high-tech industry, which is very attractive to high-quality talents, and at the same time, it is legitimate to obtain relevant national policies, which can greatly alleviate the current lack of heavy industry in Hainan.

The Hainan government has discussed the feasibility of building Hainan into a national aerospace and aviation industry experimental base, and believes that Hainan has unique location advantages in this regard. After Hainan became an international tourist island, it established a duty-free zone on the island and opened up international air rights, becoming a must-pass place for many international routes. A large number of foreign airlines flew and stopped in Hainan, driving the vigorous development of airports and aircraft maintenance and other related industries on the island. The Wenchang Aerospace Base is also under intensive construction. As a new home for the future Long March thrust rockets, the relevant industrial park planning industry for rocket satellite supporting services has long been placed in front of the high-level of the Hainan government.

If general aviation wants to develop, it must solve two key problems, namely "can fly" and "fly out". If you want to fly in China, you must obtain a certain right to open low-altitude airspace. In the past, this is in the hands of the military. Now the central and military have finally reached a consensus that under the lobbying of the aviation industry, the Central Military Commission has released rumors this year, and the deepening of low-altitude airspace management documents will be passed by the latest in September, and the low-altitude management approval system in certain specific areas will be relaxed.

Of course, the prerequisite is to ensure safety. When you fly, I must see you. When I shout, you must hear it. This means that for many cheap aircraft in China, communication equipment must be installed with official aviation certification. This cost is naturally not low. Once general aviation loses its price advantage, there will be no motivation for development. Hainan is at the forefront of the country in this regard. Zhongxing launched national aviation communication equipment in Xingcheng, Hainan, not long ago, which was one-quarter lower than foreign products. It conducted experiments on its own rotorcraft and other aircraft. The results were good and recognized by experts from both the military and the civilians.

In addition, general aviation needs low-altitude navigation maps, just like the map when driving, knowing where the aviation control area is, how to formulate routes and where there are airports for aircraft take-off and landing, etc., as well as the air traffic control and service system that follows. General aviation aircraft have many aircraft with small sizes, and relying solely on the low-altitude radars prepared for large aviation, it must be spread all over the country to track aircraft. This practice is obviously unrealistic. One idea is to establish a comprehensive service guarantee system that combines flight reporting, meteorological and route dynamic information, and a GPS (Beidou) satellite navigation and air traffic control. There is no experience in this regard, which makes foreign companies uneasy. In the end, after Zhongxing Group obtained the approval of the central government, it experimentally established such an air traffic service network in Hainan.

Although Hainan is the smallest province in the country, it is the largest province in the sea area, with multiple routes above. The experimental air service control network built by Zhongxing Group uses the group's most advanced Internet of Things and satellite computing technology, which can use various observation information to achieve continuous monitoring of all types of aircraft throughout the airspace, greatly reducing human operation errors and attracting widespread attention from the air industry. The International Aviation Industry Federation even awarded a science and technology innovation award for this.

With various good foundations, Hainan has now become a new hot spot for the domestic aviation industry. In addition to traditional airlines that have laid out Hainan and used the advantages of opening up its air rights and becoming an aviation fuel oil distribution center to open up new routes, many private enterprises have also seen Hainan's potential in the aerospace field and set up inspections to prepare for the policy time.

Yang Xing suggested that Zhang Shengli let him and the bosses behind him who wanted to own private jets take this approach first. They can first find a suitable location in Hainan to build a number of general small airports. Generally, the range of general aircraft is only about three to five hundred kilometers. Hainan's existing two major airports in the north and south must meet civil aviation capacity. These small airports can provide timely assistance. This will not only increase fixed investment for Hainan, but also encourage the Hainan government to relax restrictions on private low-altitude flights.

Then relying on these airports, Zhang Shengli and others can join forces, and Yang Xing can also consider investing in a general aviation company, using Xinghai Airlines' technical power to provide maintenance, custody and leasing, flight ground crew and other services for private aircraft. The company can also cooperate with HNA Jinlu Business Aircraft Company to provide more luxurious business jet travel to the rich.

Now Hainan and Hong Kong are increasingly close. If you want to experience the feeling of flying a plane into the blue sky, Zhang Shengli can take the lead in forming a rich aviation club in the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao. Yang Xing personally coordinates the routes between the two places. It is best to obtain official aviation treatment and take off anytime and anywhere. At that time, club members take or fly private planes to Hainan, have morning tea with their business partners in Hong Kong in the morning, have meetings on the plane at noon, and enjoy the gentle sea breeze on the beach in Sanya or Boao at night. How comfortable it is. Zhang Shengli seems to have seen himself standing at the airport and showing off his own planes with a group of rich men. The huge body of his Boeing bbj2 aircraft stands out among a group of small and medium-sized business passenger planes around. He really wakes up in a dream!!!!
