In Lanhai City, the super airship slowly landed at the landing site. The airship landing site in Lanhai City is very large, and the huge landing site can land hundreds of airships at the same time.
Airship landing is similar to helicopter landing. There is no need for a runway, just enough space.
The huge airship landed smoothly, and there was no feeling when it landed. Only the moment it landed, you could feel a little vibration.
The airship landed accurately on the landing gear. Even though the airship is so heavy, in fact, the force endured by the landing gear when landing is not heavy.
Because the gas inside the airship is still supporting the airship. This thing is like a big balloon.
After landing, a notification sounded inside the airship. Huge ladder trucks also came to the hatches on both sides of the airship.
The huge hatch opened, and the reporter who was experiencing the airship came out. When the reporter came out, the people waiting outside burst into applause.
"This journey is really more comfortable than flying. If I go on a private tour and the time is not short of a few hours, I will definitely choose to take an airship, because taking an airship is a kind of tourism in itself..."
A CCTV reporter said deeply to the camera.
He usually flies all over the world due to work needs. He is used to long-distance flights. But long-distance flights are really uncomfortable. First class is better, but economy class is uncomfortable, even worse than taking a train.
But the airship is completely different. Although the speed is relatively slow, it is so comfortable. This is not flying, this is tourism.
You can reach your destination in just a few minutes, and it’s also very convenient. The luggage you carry can be taken directly to your room without checking it in.
Their team does not need to separate, they can directly choose several adjacent rooms, just like staying in a hotel.
During the journey, they made preparations. They could go to work as soon as they got off the airship. This saves time compared to making preparations at the destination.
Sleep well, eat well, play well, there are so many advantages. If there is another advantage in price, this will simply kill the life of long-distance airlines.
The airship landed and everyone was talking about it. But the craze about airships has just begun.
A few hours after the airship landed, the Civil Aviation Administration of China announced that the Zhang Group's T5000 stratospheric passenger airship had obtained the airworthiness certificate in China.
In other words, this airship can be officially commercialized. This news has caused a wave of hype around the world. China has become the first to eat crabs.
After Huaxia announced the airworthiness certificate, the Zhang Group announced that the airship was officially open for business. The route between Lanhai City and Private Land was opened every two days.
There is only one manned airship now, so it can only fly once every two days. After the Zhang Group builds more airships, there will be more routes.
The route was announced, and Zhang Airlines also announced the price. When the price was announced, everyone was shocked.
Economy class: single room, 2099, standard room, 3099.
First class: standard suite 6999, deluxe suite 11999. Presidential suite: 29999.
After the price came out, countless people exclaimed. It was not too expensive, but too cheap.
The flight from Blue Sea City to Private Flight is 12,000 kilometers. The cheapest single room only costs 2,099, which is too cheap.
This price is even cheaper than the cheapest air ticket. Even a special ticket from Zhang Airlines currently costs 2,999.
However, the special air tickets are economy class and there is no comfort at all. Now the price of a single room on the airship has been directly reduced to 2,099.
The reporters have already seen the conditions of the single room. Except that the room is smaller and has a single bed, all other conditions are available.
A standard room is a large room. You can have a double bed or two single beds.
If two people choose a standard room, it only costs about 1,500 per person, which is too low.
Although first class is expensive, who cares about the money when you can live anywhere? The most important thing is that it is not just the price of airship tickets.
Catering is also included. There is a 24-hour buffet on the airship. As long as you are a passenger on the airship, you can eat whatever you want.
Of course, the meals in first class and economy class are separate. After all, the prices are different, and so are the meals.
But even the meals in economy class are very rich. There are many kinds, so everyone can eat well.
At the same time, the prices of many items on the airship were also announced. This price is no different from the price on the ground, and some are even cheaper.
Such a price really makes countless people excited. At this price, you can definitely take a private tour.
Chinese netizens became excited. When Zhang Group’s tickets were released, all the tickets for the first flight were sold out in just half an hour.
All 5,000 rooms were sold out. Even the expensive presidential suite was sold out.
There are not many presidential suites on the airship, only 30. However, the room fee for these 30 presidential suites alone is as high as 900,000.
There are 600 standard suites with a room fee of RMB 4.2 million and 400 deluxe suites with a room fee of RMB 4.8 million.
The cost of a first-class cabin alone is around 10 million.
There are also 4,000 sets of economy class rooms, 1,000 sets of single rooms, with room rates of 2.1 million, and 3,000 sets of standard rooms with room rates of 9.3 million.
So in total, the total room fee is about 21 million. This income is too high. This is only the room fee for one day.
The airship barely had any rest. After departing from China and landing at a private airport, it only docked for an hour before taking off again.
With this kind of schedule, we can go back and forth every two days, so no time is wasted.
Even if the passenger capacity is 50% every time, it still costs 10 million yuan in room fees.
10 million per day, which is more than 3.6 billion per year. As for the salary of the above staff, the daily consumption is less than a fraction in a year.
In other words, this airship can achieve profitability in one year. And its huge passenger capacity does not require winning by quantity like an airplane.
A route and a few airships can be completely satisfied.
The super airship was officially put into operation, and major airlines also urgently went to the private sector and contacted the Zhang Group, hoping to purchase this super airship for commercial use.
At the same time, Boeing, Airbus and other companies also held emergency meetings. This time it hit them too hard. If they can't find a response plan, they may even go bankrupt.
At the same time, they also used their own strength to fight for their country not to issue an airworthiness certificate for the airship, delaying it for as long as possible.
Although airships are advanced, they can know the reason. They can deny airworthiness certificates on the grounds that airships are unsafe.
The governments of the United States, the European Union and other countries also think so. This time the super airship has had a great impact on their aviation industry, and they will never give up this piece of profit cake easily.
As a result, on the Internet, many Western media began to criticize airships. As for the safety of airships, they talked about the technical aspects of airships. For a time, everyone started a heated discussion about the safety and insecurity of airships.
