At 12:40 on March 19th, the seventh batch of 147 medical staff who assisted the Hubei medical team in Guizhou Province arrived in Guiyang on the colorful Guizhou Airlines GY7002 flight. When returning to their hometown, Guizhou medical team members also received an extra warm gift: Guizhou assists all medical team members in Hubei to take advantage of special discounts on colorful Guizhou airlines within 2020.
Liu Fanyu, deputy secretary of the party committee and general manager of Duogui Guizhou Airlines Co., Ltd. said in an exclusive interview with reporters from Chinanews on the 20th that Duogui Guizhou Airlines will also develop new preferential products such as "tickets and hotels" and "tickets and attractions" according to the follow-up situation. "Air-ground combined transportation" and other priorities are pushed to the medical staff of Guizhou Province's Hubei Medical Team, and the medical staff of the front line of the "Episode" in Guizhou.
This move is also one of the measures to accelerate the recovery of China's local airlines, such as colorful Guizhou Airlines. Under the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the global air transport industry has been hit hard. Qiu Lianzhong, a visiting professor at the China Civil Aviation Management Institute, conservatively estimates that China ’s civil aviation revenue in February was nearly 37 billion yuan (RMB, the same below). The industry is expected to lose around 35 billion yuan in revenue in March. If the epidemic extends from April to May, the total revenue loss of China's aviation industry may be close to 100 billion yuan.
In response, the Civil Aviation Administration of China recently proposed sixteen policies and measures in five areas, including the implementation of active financial and economic policies, active reduction of fees and burdens, increased infrastructure investment, promotion of air transport development, and optimization of government services.
Under pressure, how can Chinese local airlines help themselves? Liu Fanyu admits that the pressure is great. "The sudden outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic is most affected by the tertiary industries such as transportation, tourism, and hotels. The aviation industry is an economic" barometer ". It can directly and quickly reflect the current status of the economy. The epidemic has a great impact on the economy. Great impact. "In order to do a good job in the joint prevention of the epidemic, the Civil Aviation Administration of China adjusted the free refund measures three times. Liu Fanyu told reporters that the overall passenger load factor of the air transport industry, including the colorful Guizhou Airlines, has been declining. There are many negative routes, but it is a loss to lie on the ground.
Liu Fanyu believes that to overcome this crisis, we must first believe in the strong leadership of the government, put in order to resume work and resume production, and assume the responsibility and obligation to respond. As of March 19, Colorful Guizhou Airlines actively cooperated with the Guizhou Provincial Health and Health Committee to transport five batches of medical personnel and medical emergency supplies to Hubei for support. A total of 786 medical personnel, 1,549 21085 kg of luggage, and 5,543 kg of supplies. "To get through the difficulties, you need to" strike your own hard "." Liu Fanyu said, "I believe that there must be an" opportunity "where there is a danger." Colorful Guizhou Airlines must explore and innovate and find ways to deal with the epidemic. Find business opportunities, change business models, and further explore the market.
Colorful Guizhou Airlines first put the goal of business opportunities in helping localities to resume work and resume production. Actively docking with enterprises and government departments in East China and South China, Colorful Guizhou Airlines has opened charter and overtime services for social return to work. Its chartered passenger transportation service has a wide range of applications, especially for migrant workers going to their places of work, business and business personnel returning to work places, and returning to school after the winter vacation. In order to provide passengers with a safer and more reliable flight experience, Colorful Guizhou Airlines has replaced the recirculation fan air filters of the entire fleet of 9 E190 and 1 A320, greatly avoiding the risk of passenger infection in the cabin, ensuring passenger safety, Quick and secure arrival.
"To survive the new crown pneumonia epidemic, we need the joint efforts of the entire aviation industry to overcome the difficulties and assist each other." Liu Fanyu said that Colorful Guizhou Airlines has begun to cooperate with other airlines to discuss, "Effective and accurate investment, Let the airlines continue to fly and meet the needs of the people. "Starting from March 11, the colorful Guizhou Airlines' daily utilization rate has reached China's first.
"Under the haze of the epidemic, we remain confident that as the epidemic recedes, the aviation industry will usher in restorative growth." Liu Fanyu said that with the continuous emergence of good news about China's epidemic prevention and control situation, the "poems and distant places" Dreams will become new opportunities. At the same time, the severity of the global epidemic prevention and control situation may turn people's "outbound travel" into "domestic travel" and "intra-provincial travel".
As a major tourism province in China, Guizhou's tourism industry has continued to show a blowout in recent years. Official data show that in 2019, the passenger throughput of the province's civil aviation exceeded 30 million; the number of tourists entering Guizhou and the total tourism revenue increased by more than 30%. In Liu Fanyu's view, Guizhou is rich in tourism resources and the situation of epidemic prevention and control continues to improve, which will bring new development opportunities for the development of the aviation industry.
"We need to cherish these opportunities and do what we should do." Liu Fanyu said that "foreign defense import" has become the focus of current epidemic prevention and control, and aviation companies are an important checkpoint. "We will do a good job of collating and comparing passenger information, and keep close contact with the government's epidemic prevention department; promptly remind passengers to scan the health code and fill out the declaration form." Glue, disposable gloves, etc., making it easier for travelers to fill out application forms. "
"Details determine success or failure." Liu Fanyu said, as long as the details are in place and connected, an orderly "big net" of "foreign defense input" can be formed to ensure the victory of the war. (Finish)
