Joining Sichuan Airlines starts with rescuing the captain of a powerful country

Chapter 400: Entering Saudi Arabia, only one step away from the destination
As soon as Huang Jiacai walked out of the cockpit, Liu Changjian looked at Lu Qingzhou meaningfully.

Said, "This girl is pretty good. Although she seems carefree, I heard she is very simple in terms of feelings."

"It seems she joined Sichuan Airlines after you."

"But in the past few years, apart from you, she hasn't had any scandals with anyone else."

Liu Changjian sighed and continued, "You know, their circle has a bad reputation. Although many things are just rumors on the Internet, there is no smoke without fire. There are always a few people who are greedy and vain."

"But Bi Nan is a very self-disciplined person. She also treats Huang Jia, Yawen and the others as her own sisters, so they are all quite good in this regard."

Lu Qingzhou quickly said, "I know everything you said, don't worry, I just like to joke around."

"If I were really that kind of person, I would have been surrounded by gossip and ex-girlfriends after working at Sichuan Airlines for so many years."

"And even if I really just wanted to have fun, I wouldn't look for Huang Jia and the others."

Liu Changjian then smiled and said, "What's the saying you young people always say? Don't miss out on good girls, and don't let go of bad girls. But no matter whether you are a man or a woman, it's always good to keep yourself clean."

"You may think I talk too much, but this society is too impetuous and everyone has become impatient."

"That's why they treat marriage as a joke. As for dating? It's just a joke."

Just at this time.

Liang Dong and Xu Yichen pushed the door open and walked in.

Hearing Liu Changjian's words.

He immediately asked, "Play? What play?"

Lu Qingzhou smiled and said, "It's just you and that guy, you were just playing around."

"I was just playing around with that guy?" Liang Dong was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly denied it three times, "I wasn't, don't talk nonsense, I didn't do that"

"I have a fiancée. Although I like to make jokes, I always keep myself clean."

Lu Qingzhou and Liu Changjian looked at each other, and an expression that only men could understand suddenly appeared on their faces.

Liang Dong was embarrassed, as if he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag.

But he immediately took the initiative and said, "I know."

Lu Qingzhou asked with a smile, "What do you know now?"

"Hehe, of course I know it's you who wants to play."

"Okay, okay. I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are actually a playboy in secret. I really misjudged you."

Xu Yichen also chimed in, "It's a pity that Huang Jia's love is in vain."

"Get out of here, what a mess." Lu Qingzhou's face was full of black lines.

Then he added, "We are about to enter Saudi Arabia's airspace. Brother Liang, come here quickly and contact the country's air traffic control immediately."

Liang Dong then quickly sat back in his passenger seat.

The plane is now about to enter Saudi Arabia.

Although the passenger plane has been switched to autopilot mode, there is no need for crew members to manually drive it.

However, when entering the airspace of another country, the crew is required to contact that country's civil aviation department to report the transit flight.

Sichuan Airlines flight 3u9988 flew from China to East Africa, and it was almost always flying at night.

It was exactly midnight when we left Tianfu International Airport.

The time difference between East Africa and China is about six hours. So when the flight takes off from Tianfu Airport, the time in East Africa is around 6pm.

After Lu Qingzhou and his crew traveled a long distance and flew for six or seven hours, when they were about to enter the airspace of East Africa, it was already early morning in East Africa.

It had already been shrouded in darkness.

This flight.

The plane spans the two continents of Asia and Africa.

We passed through quite a few countries.

With the global economic integration and the gradual normalization of international exchanges, it is not uncommon for civil airliners to fly across countries or even across continents.

However, if every international flight has to land for inspection when passing through any country, it will not only cause a huge waste of time and cost, but will also overwhelm the airports in these transit countries.

So as early as 1944, when World War II was in full swing, the Allied countries concluded a treaty on the transit of civil airliners/cargo planes.

This treaty has been in use to this day and has become the charter document for international civil aviation activities.

The purpose of concluding this treaty is not only to save the time and cost of transit civil aviation passenger/cargo planes and reduce the burden on airports in various countries, but also to prevent civil aircraft from being suddenly attacked when transiting through various countries, causing major aviation accidents.

However, the treaty does not deprive countries of their airspace rights. On the contrary, all contracting parties strictly respect the integrity of other countries' airspace.

Therefore, when civil aircraft transit through other countries, they need to apply to the other country and can only transit after approval.

Of course.

Some countries have very loose restrictions in this regard. Once the first application is approved, you do not need to apply again when transiting through the country in the future.

For example, if an airline opens a new international route that passes through a certain country, it has already submitted an application to that country when opening this new route. After approval, the flight does not need to apply to the country's civil aviation department for approval every time it passes through that country.

However, there are relatively few such countries. Among the nearly 200 countries on the Blue Planet, only more than a dozen have chosen this relaxed model.

Some countries have looser restrictions and require advance application when transiting, but they only report and do not respond. In other words, if the flight is reported in the country, the civil aviation department does not need to respond and can enter the country.

However, the management of most countries on the Blue Planet is relatively strict, and you need to apply in advance and obtain approval before you can transit. Otherwise, you will need to fly around or return.

Nearly two-thirds of the countries in Blue Star have chosen this strict aviation management model.

This is especially true for some large countries with vast territories.

Otherwise, if someone else's aircraft crashes into your own airspace, what will happen? !
However, Saudi Arabia, where Lu Qingzhou and his team are about to enter, falls into the second category and will only be reported but not responded to.

Because the country's territory can barely be considered a "giant" in the Middle East, it occupies almost half of the Arabian Peninsula.

But looking at the world, this country is a small country with a relatively small territory.

And the country is rich in oil.

It is a country that relies heavily on foreign investment and tourism (the holy cities of Mecca and Medina attract hundreds or even tens of millions of devout foreign believers every year).

Therefore, opening up part of the airspace will help attract foreign investment and foreign tourists.

Sichuan Airlines flight 3u9988 piloted by Lu Qingzhou had already applied for registration with all countries along the route before taking off.
In addition, this is a flight to evacuate Xia citizens, and it is endorsed by Xia’s diplomatic department.

So the journey was naturally smooth.

The same applies to entry into Saudi Arabia.

So when the plane was about to enter Saudi Arabia, Liang Dong sent an FPL telegram to the country's civil aviation department as usual, stating his identity, and then entered the country openly, and then crossed the entire Saudi Arabia and headed towards Eritrea.
