"Forced off" fear to "adventure off"
"Close the door
Must take off within 30 minutes
"Difficulty in enforcement
Civil Aviation Authority on the new release of the two new rules yesterday, one after hearing the news industry's first reaction is: "how could we?"
He said the plane took off a lot of unexpected situations, such as the weather suddenly deteriorated, in front of the temporary airspace control, and this will affect the final departure time.
There are people in the industry that can not be forced departure time, otherwise, it is "risky to take off." "Security should be in first place, to fly to fly, fly on the ground can not wait, can not be forced to take off within 30 minutes."
He said that if this provision be implemented, the airlines certainly "bad music." Because travelers
Can greatly reduce the waiting time on the plane, the unit's crew time will be reduced. "The most critical is that passengers complain a lot less." But he also pointed out that without safeguards, this provision might get the passengers and the intensification of the conflict between the airline front-line employees. "Can not fly within 30 minutes, passengers that the airline is certainly a problem."
Chengdu International Airport, said flights in the implementation of tasks, sometimes due to weather, mechanical malfunction, passenger and aircraft deployment of the reasons and other reasons, resulting in flight punctuality can not take off.
▶ Interpretation of the industry
Ability to test new regulations adaptable
New regulations for the Civil Aviation Authority yesterday, Chengdu, an airline official said, the new regulations and changes in the larger than before. Not previously clear that the delay in giving priority to more than 2 hours, but the line up after the aircraft doors closed to air traffic control applications for release time.
The source said the new rules the main air traffic control department of a higher demand, not simply order, but to make a priority of the delayed flight, which requires the original flight time in the tense situation, to do more coordination. However, he believes China Civil Aviation Authority to alleviate flight delays like a lot of ways, no matter how effective the final implementation, at least that the relevant departments to solve the problem of the determination.
Worried about 30 minutes "feasibility"
This summer, due to heavy rains and other weather, the Beijing-Shanghai flight delays and other airports in serious condition. The passenger boarding time after the notice is often unable to take off flight. Said a passenger, passengers waiting in the terminal can be included in the areas of flight delays, obtain the corresponding compensation, if the check is not quasi-point off the door on the delay, passengers on the plane waiting for a few small Shique not compensable, the airline This has avoided the "compensation" is suspected.
In this regard, a state-owned domestic airline ground service department official said the airline is not to avoid compensation. If the points are not allowed to shut the door, we can not "line up" time to release the ATC application.
It is for these reasons, the relevant parties for the "off the door of the flights took off within 30 minutes," the feasibility of his own question: Once the flight delays, the actual departure time simply can not predict in advance. In this way, how airlines calculate the flight departure time in advance? When to notify passengers boarding safer? Passengers boarding in 30 minutes how to ensure that ATC clearance?
15 minutes before boarding may apply
As the airlines in terms of stakeholders, for "off the door of the flights departing within 30 minutes," this provision does not by the airlines have the final say, which also includes air traffic control to release the link. In this regard, an aviation industry is explained.
According to the airline survey, passenger boarding, after the longest wait time can stand 1 hour, more than 1 hour, obviously agitated mood. Therefore, the CAA has issued "special rectification flight delays meeting minutes "clearly" closed doors for a 30-minute flights and delayed flights over two hours to give priority to the release. "
But it also said that priority clearance were involved, "the second release," there is a certain degree of difficulty. All times are normally assigned airport, flight delays priority clearance, will disrupt the normal flight, can only strive to give priority clearance.
According to the latest requirements of the Civil Aviation Authority, flight refueling is completed, in preparation 15 minutes before boarding, air traffic control unit can be made to line up to apply. That is, allow time for the benefits is that if this line a long time air traffic control, airlines would not allow passengers to mention before boarding to avoid waiting in a small space travelers. If ATC is expected to inform at the time of its take-off, is scheduled for passenger boarding, flight early to take off as much as possible. Source: WCC
