Chapter 1023 Western Express

A lot of people gathered at Bimbe Airport today.Everyone looked up at the sky, as if expecting something.

Just as everyone expected, a plane appeared in everyone's sight.The color of the black plane is particularly conspicuous, and there are two large English subtitles on the plane.

People here are very familiar with this sign.SF Express used to be Longteng Express, but it became an independent express company in the end.

The reason why the people here are familiar with it is because this is the only express company that can come to Bianbei County besides Huaxia Post.

After the establishment of the Longteng express system, the Longteng Group in the western region has been working hard.At the beginning, I did express delivery in the west, and I always lost money before doing it.

Fortunately, the product is profitable, so it is still profitable after all.After the independence of SF Express, it still maintains the original policy in the western region.

However, in the western region, SF Express has its own policies.The policy is to not lose money.If you don't make money, you need a cost price.

Over the past few years, SF Express has been remembered by people in the west.Now people in the west will choose SF Express whether they are shopping online or sending things.

Today, Bianbei Airport opened for navigation on the first day.The first plane to land was the plane of SF Express.

The cargo plane converted from Airbus has removed the seats and removed unnecessary interior decoration, so that the cargo capacity of this plane has reached 4.2 tons.

At the same time, the doors of the aircraft are also different from those of passenger aircraft.The hatch is at the rear of the aircraft for easy loading and unloading.

Although Airbus does not offer food delivery, SF Express is not an outsider.SF Express is eligible to purchase the cargo version of Airbus.

And the price is not expensive. SF Express purchases the internal price, and one only needs 1000 million RMB.Even the internal price, the profit is as high as more than 500 million yuan.

Airplanes are not a rare thing for SF Express, and SF Express has many large cargo aircraft.But those planes are expensive to build, and one plane can easily cost hundreds of millions.

Although the air bus transport volume is small, but the price is cheap.A large plane can buy dozens of air buses.

As for the cargo volume, one plane can't compare, and the sum of ten or twenty planes must be greater than the cargo volume of one large plane.

At present, the largest cargo aircraft of SF Express is a large domestic transport aircraft.Even the largest large aircraft has a cargo capacity of only 65 tons.

The purchase price of such a transport aircraft is 4.5 million yuan.This is still a good price.At this price, you can buy 45 Airbuses.

The combined cargo volume of 45 Airbuses can reach 189 tons, which is almost three times that of a large aircraft.

In addition to these, it also has an advantage in operating costs.In addition to the high fuel costs of large cargo aircraft, maintenance is also unconventional.

Four high-power engines are simply oil tigers.Taken together, the operating cost of a large cargo plane is even higher than the operating cost of 45 Airbuses.

And most importantly, the take-off and landing of large transport aircraft has relatively high requirements for the airport.Not as flexible as Airbus.

Now with Airbus, it is even more powerful for SF Express.We must know that the domestic express delivery industry is now highly competitive.

Everyone is competing for freight speed, and several major express companies are also constantly increasing their aircraft.

Before that, SF Express already owned forty aircraft, large and small.But this time, SF Express is even more generous, placing an order for 1000 freight buses at one time.

In the future, SF Express will continue to place orders to expand its air superiority.The purpose of SF Express is simple, to strive to be the first to complete next-day delivery nationwide.

In the developed eastern regions, next-day delivery is basically achievable for SF Express.But in the west, it is still far from reaching.

Now that there are freight buses, SF Express can complete this project in the western region.In the West, cargo planes have an even bigger advantage than cars.

Not only the speed, but also the operating cost is lower than that of a car.For example, this cargo plane is now flying over from Shudu.

It took two hours in the middle, and Chen Ben cost almost 2000 yuan to operate.And if you switch to a car, 2000 yuan is not enough for gas.

Driving a truck from Shudu, the high-speed distance is as high as 2400 kilometers.It takes almost two days to drive.

The fuel and high-speed fees for driving are added together, at least 2500 yuan.

With low cost and fast speed, this operation mode is especially suitable for transporting small goods.

Especially for online shopping, many things usually purchased online can be shipped by air.Home appliances including refrigerators and washing machines are fine.

Unless it is something relatively large, it will be transported by truck.Therefore, the cargo bus can basically solve the transportation problem here.

In the past, although people in Bianbei also shopped online.However, it takes a long time for many things to be compared to Bei's side.Especially for goods sent from the east, it often takes a week or even longer to be delivered to Bianbei County.

Even for goods coming from Saskatchewan, sometimes it takes several days.This speed actually greatly limits the enthusiasm of the public for online shopping.

In addition to online shopping, in the shopping malls in Bianbei County, many things are also relatively expensive.Because the shipping cost is too expensive.

Products shipped from the mainland must first be shipped to Saskatchewan.Then it will be transported from Sakeng to Bianbei County.There is still more than 800 kilometers between Sac City and Bianbei County, and it takes about eleven hours for a truck to travel on the high speed.

The cost of transportation restricts the price of products. Products that are relatively cheap in the mainland will increase in price here, which also restricts the enthusiasm for consumption here.

Now, everyone finally sees hope.The cargo plane lands at the airport, enters the hangar accurately, and is transported to the cargo platform by the plane as a whole.

After arriving at the freight booth, the rear hatch door was opened, and a special small container in the cabin was directly pulled out as a whole.

This kind of container is made of aluminum alloy and is relatively light in weight.After all, for an aircraft, if you can reduce some weight, you can reduce some weight.

The container was pulled out and put on a special pickup truck.The aircraft is directly transferred to a special hangar for charging, cleaning and inspection, which is the same as the passenger transport process.

After the first plane landed, the second, the third, the fourth...

One plane after another landed here, and finally ten planes landed in total.Six cargo planes, and four passenger planes.

These four passenger planes flew over from four directions at the same time.The farthest is to fly from a city 1500 kilometers away.

This distance directly reaches the limit flight distance of the Airbus.

The range of [-] kilometers and the flight time of three hours.It can be reached directly without a special plane.Although it is impossible to reach the easternmost part, it can reach Sichuan Province, Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province and other places. If you want to go to the east, you can just transfer another plane and it is very convenient to travel.
