Trump wanted to ban Chinese flights from flying over Russian airspace, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a "proposal".
Some flights fly particularly circuitous routes, which not only take a long time, but also quietly increase ticket prices. However, some China airlines fly more straighter routes and have no fluctuations in fares. The difference between these two flights is actually related to a recent proposal by the U.S. government.
On October 9 local time, the Trump administration said it would ban China civil aircraft from flying over Russian airspace when flying flights to and from the United States.
The reason given is to listen to the crown prince, saying that because the United States does not allow its own airlines to fly over Russian airspace, leading to US Airways can only bypass long distances, and China Airways has reduced the cost of flying Russian airspace, more competitive than US Airways, so to do so to guarantee "fair competition", but we will find that this reason can not stand.
First of all, we have to figure out a sequence: it is not Chinese airlines that "take advantage" first, but the United States itself first introduced policies to prevent American Airlines from flying over Russian airspace.
American Airlines has made long detours and increased costs. The root of the problem lies in the US's own decision-making. Now it blames this account on Chinese airlines and requires Chinese airlines to give up shorter routes. How is this "fair competition"?
To put it bluntly, seeing that Chinese airlines are more popular in the Sino-US route market because of their reasonable routes and controllable costs, they want to erase the advantages of Chinese airlines through restrictive means. In essence, they are afraid that their own airlines will not be able to grab them. That's why they came up with such a set.
Let's think about it from the perspective of ordinary passengers, what are the benefits of China airlines flying over Russian airspace? The most direct thing is that the route has been shortened.
For example, flying from Shanghai to new york can be almost 2,000 kilometers less than flying around the Pacific Ocean in Russian airspace. The flight time can be shortened by 2 to 3 hours, and passengers don't have to stay on the plane for so long.
And the route is shorter, the cost of fuel is low, this part of the cost is saved, can make the price of air tickets more stable, and will not increase the price frequently because of the circumference caused by the cost.
Now the United States wants to ban China Airways from this line, and China Airways either follows the long-distance route, and the cost of flying will surely rise, or it will only reduce the number of flights between China and the United States.
At that time, people want to fly to the United States, either to buy more expensive tickets, or to steal fewer flights, ultimately losing the people.
Looking at the global aviation industry, in addition to the United States, airlines in many countries are still using Russian airspace reasonably.
Some European airlines, for example, will also pass through Russian airspace when flying to Asia in order to provide passengers with a more convenient and affordable service.
The aviation industry originally relies on "taking the right path and providing good services" to compete. The United States insists on being special and preventing Chinese airlines from going smoothly. Not only does it not conform to the laws of the industry, but it will also make itself more and more isolated in the global aviation market.
After all, passengers choose flights by looking at the time, price and service, not by looking at which country's government will "short".
If U.S. Airways can only survive by the government restricting its opponents, it means that its competitiveness is insufficient, and passengers cannot be held by this means at all.
A spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also said that it is suggested that the US should reflect on its own policies, not unreasonably suppress other countries, and not let global consumers pay for the willfulness of the US government.
This is said to the idea that the U.S. government is only thinking of safeguarding the interests of its own airlines, but completely regardless of the needs of passengers, this is not a responsible performance.
Moreover, doing so will not hinder the development of China. The competitiveness of China Airlines comes from paying attention to passenger demand, from the ability to reasonably plan routes, not from the advantages of who gives them.
On the contrary, the United States 'troubles will only make more people see clearly its hegemonic behavior and weaken the competitiveness of the U.S. aviation industry in the global market. After all, no one wants to choose an airline that relies on government "support" and has no advantages in service and price.
The development of the aviation industry should revolve around the common people, making it more convenient and affordable for everyone to travel, not for hegemony and winning or losing.
You don't let others go along the way, ultimately blocking your own way; you want to restrict your opponents to take business, ultimately losing everyone's trust.
Real competition depends on doing a good job in service and setting a fair price, not by playing tricks to stop others.
I hope the U.S. government understands this sooner and stops letting ordinary passengers pay for their arbitrariness.
