Trump wants to ban Chinese flights from flying over Russian airspace, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has made a "recommendation".
The United States proposed that Chinese civil aviation planes should not be allowed to pass through Russian airspace when flying on the US-China route. The reason sounds quite like that-American airlines have to take a long detour because the United States does not allow them to fly into Russian airspace. They think that Chinese airlines can reduce costs by using Russia, which is "unfair competition", but is this really what the United States says? We need to talk about it.
First, we have to understand why flying international routes to circumnavigate or select a close route, which line the aircraft is not arbitrary, we have to look at the safety, see the distance, and more to see if it can pass through the airspace of other countries.
Airspace is like someone's courtyard at home. If you want to fly over the sky, you have to get the consent of others. Previously, the United States imposed a ban on American airlines flying in Russian airspace due to its relationship with Russia.
This leads to the fact that when U.S. aviation flies between the United States and the United States, it can not go north through the Russian short road, only to the south, for example, from the side of Alaska, or from the Pacific Ocean to the air, so one round, the distance will become longer, more time, oil costs, the cost of labor of the crew will naturally go up.
What about China Airlines? We don't ban Russian airspace like the United States, so when AVIC planes fly on the China-US route, they can apply to pass through Russian airspace and take the shorter route.
As a result, the flight distance of AVIC is much shorter than that of American Airlines, and the cost can indeed be reduced. For example, if you fly from Shanghai to new york and take Russian airspace, you can probably fly more than 1,000 kilometers less than that of American Airlines, which takes a detour, and you can save hundreds of thousands of RMB in one-way fuel costs, and the flight time can be reduced by one or two hours.
This is indeed a real cost advantage for airlines, and for passengers, it can also be less offended by long-distance flights.
But the U.S. says it’s “unfair competition,” it’s a bit unstable, why? because this cost difference is not made by Chinese airlines, it’s caused by U.S. own policies.
It was the United States that first banned its airlines from flying Russian airspace, so that American Airlines had to go around the long road, and now in turn blame the Chinese airlines for using a more reasonable route, it is as if they should go around the long road, and then blame others for going near the road is unfair.
Moreover, in the aviation industry, it is normal to use reasonable routes to reduce costs. As long as it conforms to international rules and has the consent of relevant countries, there is no problem.
Chinese airlines fly in Russian airspace, all according to the rules of application and approval, fully in accordance with international law, and not half of the violations.
China's Foreign Ministry later responded to the matter, saying it advised the US side to think about its own policies, otherwise without reason to pressure other countries, and not let the world's consumers pay for the US arbitrary.
In fact, this spoke to the idea, if it was true as the United States said, not allowing China Air to fly Russian airspace, who was ultimately affected? first of all passengers.
If the flights of China Airways also have to circumvent long routes, the price of air tickets will rise, after all, the cost has increased, the airline cannot bear it itself, before there is an aviation industry statistics, if the flights of China and the United States are circumventing long routes, the price of one-way tickets may increase by two or three hundred dollars, and the flight time will be longer, the experience of passengers will be worse.
Not only Chinese passengers, American passengers want to take cheaper, faster flights, the choice will be less.
Furthermore, the global aviation industry is not yet fully relieved from the epidemic, and everyone hopes to reduce costs, facilitate passengers, and restore the industry's vitality.
The U.S. does so, instead, will disrupt the aviation industry, and this "unilateral ban" "unreasonable repression" is not in line with the global cooperation trend.
Now many national airlines, as long as they are not banned by their own countries, will choose to fly through Russia's short-haul routes in Asia and Asia or Asia, such as some European airlines, as well as airlines in the Middle East, are doing so.
In fact, let's think deeper. The proposal of the United States is not essentially a matter of "fair competition", but an attempt to suppress China's civil aviation industry in this way.
In these years, China's civil aviation has developed quite quickly, its market share in international routes is growing, and the United States may feel that its airline's competitiveness is affected, trying to find a reason to restrict Chinese airlines.
But such practices, which ultimately hurt the interests of ordinary consumers, will also undermine the order of the global aviation market.
After all, the development of the aviation industry should rely on improving services, optimizing management, and not on bans and restrictions, hoping that the United States can consider more about the feelings of passengers, think more about the development of the global aviation industry, do not do this kind of thing for consumers to pay.
After all, everyone on the plane, the plan is convenient, affordable, safe, and nobody wants to pay for unnecessary policy arbitrarily.
