Chapter 680: Civil Aviation in the 1980s

A group of seven people took a minibus from Yanjing City to the Capital Airport in the northern suburbs.

   The Capital Airport in 1988 was really rudimentary. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yang Jing couldn't believe that the huge and prosperous international airport in later generations would have developed from this small terminal.

   At this time, the Capital Airport has only one terminal, which is Terminal 1, and this terminal has only ten gates at this time.

However, the Capital Airport at this time is far less crowded than thirty years later. Thirty years later, the Capital Airport is just like a super-large bazaar. It is called a crowd of people, one after another, and people hate it. Can't be squeezed into a dog's mind. But now, the Capital Airport can only be described by one word-empty.

   If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yang Jing couldn't believe that there was still such a deserted time at the Capital Airport. No way, in this era, flying by plane is still quite a tall thing, and there is no certain level, and ordinary people can't fly by plane at all. Even cadres at the departmental level, if there are no special circumstances, they cannot fly on the plane.

  Because you want to take a plane, you must buy a ticket with a letter of introduction from your unit, otherwise, there is no door. If the level is not enough, you cannot buy a ticket. Therefore, China Civil Aviation of this era is so deserted.

   Of course, Yang Jing and his party belong to "foreign VIPs." Of course, they have the right to fly by plane.

The terminal building of this era is also very colorful at that time. When you walk into the terminal building, you can see a giant banner that almost spans the entire terminal building. It says "service first, safety first, do Good civil aviation job..." Waiting for a series of big characters, very Chinese characteristics.

Compared with the later generations of Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, Terminal 1 is really rudimentary. At this time, there is no boarding bridge or covered bridge at the Capital Airport. Even if it is an international flight, boarding is only possible. Use the shuttle bus and board the plane from the aircraft gangway. And what makes Yang Jing most incredible is that there is no security check in this era...

There is an obvious sign at the gate indicating that passengers can’t carry anything, and there is no security checker. Although there are security checkers standing there, they just ask you what is in your luggage, and they rarely open the box for inspection. Far from going through the security check in later generations, I wish I could strip you naked for inspection.

And there are no restrictions on boarding with tea at this time. Yang Jing saw with his own eyes two cadres in cadre outfits, one of them walking through the security checkpoint with a large cup of tea, talking and laughing while waiting for the shuttle bus to pick up passengers... ..

   What an incredible security check!

   Via the shuttle bus, they came to the "Trident" passenger plane. Yes, the plane Yang Jing and the others are about to take is the "Trident" passenger plane introduced by China Airlines from the British company De Havilland in the 1970s.

In this era, Huaxia also has Boeing passenger planes, but they are all used for international flights and domestic regional passenger planes. For shorter voyages, aircrafts produced by old Maozi such as Il-18 and An-24 are used. For longer voyages, this trigeminal is used. Halberd aircraft.

When working as a shuttle bus, Yang Jing saw a lot of old-fashioned propeller airplanes such as Il-18 and An-24 on the tarmac. Although this kind of Trident airliner is not as tall as the Boeing airliner, in this era, the Trident airliner However, jet airliners are of course much higher grade than those propeller airliners, so if many people can take a Trident airliner once, they will be able to blow it back for a long time.

   Yang Jing’s private jet could not apply for a flight route in China, so he could only take a civilian flight to Uzbekistan this time, and Yang Jing also saw his Gulfstream IV on the shuttle bus.

   This is a very helpless thing, okay? Obviously I own a high-performance private jet, but I can't fly it. This is simply...

   But after a brief period of speechlessness, Yang Jing didn't care. Besides, it is actually a very interesting experience to feel the domestic flights of this era. At least people of his own generation will not be able to fly on this kind of antique airplane in this life.

Wu Dawei, who has been with Yang Jing all the time, seems to see that the boss is very interested in this place, but of course he also knows that his boss flew from the United States on a private jet. In this era when ordinary people cannot fly by plane at all. , To be able to own your own private jet, this is simply an unimaginable thing.

   So Wu Dawei is very clear about what he should say and what should not be said.

   "Boss, our China is still relatively poor. Civil aviation's domestic flights are like this, please forgive me."

   Yang Jing looked at Wu Dawei, smiled and shook his head and said, "It's very interesting, I mean, it's actually a good thing to be able to feel these old planes."

   After getting on the plane, the stewardess directly led Yang Jing and his party to the front. This kind of domestic flight does not have any first class, but the front position is the best, and the tickets they bought are also in this position, plus there are six foreigners in a group of seven, of course the flight attendants need special care.

After taxiing, the plane flew into the sky safely. When the flight reached a stable altitude, the stewardess pushed the trolley over. Obviously, the captain also paid attention to it after learning that there were six foreigners on his plane. A flight attendant was specifically asked to serve these foreigners.

  In this era, foreign guests are very popular. Even if the leaders are able to fly by plane, foreign guests are given priority in front of foreign guests. After all, in this era, China is in urgent need of foreign exchange, and most of the foreign guests who can come to China have come to invest in China. This is a distinguished guest of China.

   The coffee and green tea in the trolley are free, and the flight attendant even took down two bottles of Moutai.

   This move made Yang Jing a little dazed. He knew that he could drink on the plane, but what does Maotai mean?

   Yang Jing really doesn't know this.

Wu Dawei on the side explained: "Boss, try our China National Bar, which is provided for free on the plane. Since 1975, passengers have been provided with a bottle of Moutai for free on international flights, but now they are not provided to passengers. The bottle of Moutai was provided for free. However, we were obviously taken care of, and the stewardess brought us two bottles directly."

   When Yang Jing heard this, he remembered that China Civil Aviation had indeed provided Moutai for free in the 1970s and 1980s.

   At that time, passengers who took China Civil Aviation’s international flight gave a free bottle of Moutai. It was later changed to free supply, and it was not cancelled until the end of the 1980s. At that time, a bottle of Moutai was about ten yuan, which was nearly one-sixth of the monthly salary. However, because flying by plane is already a "sky price", many people think that it is not surprising that Moutai is supplied in the first class cabin or even in the ordinary cabin of the plane. At that time, there were not only Moutai, but also Hongbao orange juice, and drinks such as Olympic Cola.

   However, Moutai is provided on international flights, and now domestic flights even provide Moutai for myself, which is obviously special care.

   Yang Jing waved his hand and said in fluent Chinese: "This lady, thank you very much for taking care of us, but we don’t need this delicious drink now, just give us some drinks."

   Yang Jing's fluent Chinese made the flight attendant's eyes widened in surprise. She really didn't expect this blonde foreigner to be able to speak such fluent Chinese.

This is not just a few years later, a few years later, a "big mountain" that talks about cross talk suddenly appeared. Huaxia people know that foreigners can also speak fluent Chinese. Now, a foreigner can speak Chinese so fluently that it is better than the sun. It is rare to rise from the west.

   After a brief astonishment, the beautiful flight attendant smiled and gave Yang Jing and the others a few bottles of Coca-Cola, and then politely left.

Wu Dawei opened the Coca-Cola in his hand, took a sip, and said, "Boss, in fact, five or six years ago, you could still smoke on the plane. It was only in 1983 that the civil aviation stipulated that it would not be allowed on domestic flights. Smoking is allowed, but smoking is still allowed on international flights. Now the little devil’s flight is already non-smoking, so when the little devil comes to our China, he chooses to take the China Civil Airline, because China’s airliners are not non-smoking."

"A few years ago, when I had not resigned, I went to Japan with the leader to do an inspection. At that time, when I got on the plane, the stewardess would provide us with cigarettes. I remember that there was a ten Only cigars are very powerful."

   Yang Jing smiled and nodded and said, "Actually, there is no smoking ban on flights in the United States, but I think it will be soon. Smoking on airplanes is indeed a very dangerous thing, and smoking bans is very necessary."

It is true that the smoking ban on flights in the United States was relatively late. This country used to completely ban smoking on civil airliners in 1977, but the ban was lifted in 1984 within a few years. However, in 1988, that is, this year, the U.S. Domestic flights began to be smoke-free, and then expanded to domestic flights within 6 hours in 1990. After 2000, domestic and international flights have all been smoke-free, and other countries have followed suit. However, Cuba, known for its cigars, should be the most in this matter. The stubborn countries insisted on not declaring a smoking ban on international flights until 2014.

   So, from this point of view, smokers living in this era are still relatively happy, at least they can smoke on long international flights~www.readwn.com~ How like later generations, do you want to smoke on airplanes? Do it! Not to mention smoking, you can't pass the security check alone.

   Yang Jing thought that when he took Gege to Nanyun, the big box in front of the security checkpoint of Jinling Airport was full of lighters handed over by passengers. What’s even more annoying is that it is said that these lighters were taken out by the vendors at the airport and sold again. A disposable gas lighter was sold at the airport gate for three yuan or five yuan each. You like to buy it or not.

   Not to mention, this business is really good. Although the airport security check will not confiscate your cigarettes, it will definitely confiscate your lighters. Do you need a lighter to light up a cigarette after you get off the plane? After a few hours of voyage, the heavy-smoked passengers were suffocated long ago, but there was no fire in their pockets. Isn’t this suffocating people? At this time, who still dislikes a lighter that originally only sells for five cents and sells for three yuan and five yuan, nothing said, pay for it, at least take a couple of mouthfuls and talk about it...

   In contrast, the smoker passengers living in this era are definitely happier than the smoker passengers thirty years later.
