The big plane with its wings, Airbus A380

What are the factors that bind the wings of the big plane, the Airbus A380?　　Wen |CBN reporter Yee When the world's largest aircraft encounter China's largest and most advanced airport, the result is a mess.　　September 7 11:10 A.M., Jessica Wang was supposed to be on a plane to Frankfurt, Germany, but the reality was that she was sitting in a row of seats closest to the Lufthansa desk at the capital airport, and her companion and dozens of passengers on her flight had surrounded the Lufthansa desk. Jessica booked the flight ticket in April, but when she arrived at the airport T3 terminal in the morning, Lufthansa staff told her that the LH721 flight model, which took off 10:30, was temporarily replaced by Airbus A380 into Boeing 747, and the number of seats dropped from 526 to 416. So without her seat, I suggested that she sign up for the next day's flight.　　Apparently, the airline's explanation was incomprehensible to her. Also incomprehensible are many passengers who booked the September flight for Lufthansa LH721 flights, and they received a call from Lufthansa customer service after September 2, hoping they could change their flight or refund. An ID for Ddscia netizens even in the poor tour online to open up the rights, looking for and he was asked to change the sign of the passengers. "I booked a non-stop flight to Frankfurt September 11 in LH721, Germany, in May this year, and wanted to experience the new A380," he said, "but now, if the complaint is not turned out, I will consider the court's indictment."　　"Airbus A380 is currently the world's largest passenger aircraft, the fuselage is 7 floors tall, fuselage up to 73 meters, breaking the Boeing 747 in the field of long-range ultra large wide-body aircraft for 35 years of record. On September 2, Lufthansa had just held a grand conference in Beijing announcing the launch of Airbus A380 on the Beijing-Frankfurt route. The luxury-equipped aircraft boasts the world's most tranquil first class and an economy class that adds about 5 centimeters of leg stretching space and is equipped with an air humidification system.　　Lufthansa even named the plane "Beijing", this is the first time the airline to use the name of the city outside Germany to name the aircraft, in order to match the name, Lufthansa also added roast duck in the plane meal.　　Yet it is the giant aircraft that has been pinning its hopes on the Chinese market, but it has plunged into a crisis of confidence for the veteran German airline that has always had a good reputation. "Lufthansa had planned to fly three flights a week from Beijing to Frankfurt, and even to increase the number of daily flights during the winter flight time," A380. "But Lufthansa received a weekly A380 request from the relevant Chinese authorities," said Frank Püttmann, head of corporate communications at Lufthansa Asia Pacific, and we have complied with this requirement and changed the schedule of flights and schedules accordingly. China's CAAC told Lufthansa that theyI hope to be able to operate the A380 airliner smoothly at Beijing Capital International Airport to prepare the airport staff and service personnel. The T3 terminal of Beijing Capital Airport, which began operation in 2008, is the largest single terminal in the world, as early as the third expansion design of the capital airport in 2004 took into account the A380 of Take-off and landing and parking, which even became the first airport to enter the ranks of a sign. Its new third runway length of 3800 meters, 60 meters wide, in line with A380 landing standards.　　In order to park A380, the capital airport also deliberately new N1 machine Ping. "The capital airport has a 4F runway and 17 aircraft to meet the requirements of Airbus A380 parking, can fully meet the requirements of Airbus A380 passenger landing."　　"Just before the departure of Lufthansa, the capital airport has such an external guarantee.　　However, the evaluation of the UAE aviation A380 aircraft pilot operation and the occurrence of the Yichun air crash, let the CAAC begin to re-examine whether the capital airport is really capable of simultaneously accepting the take-off and landing of multiple classes of A380 aircraft. In fact, since 2008, Singapore Airlines in the Beijing Olympic Games during the short-term use of A380 began, the capital airport has been operating A380 experience.　　In the one months before the departure of Lufthansa Airlines, the United Arab Emirates first used A380 to open a regular route from Beijing to Dubai, but this is still in the test run of the route, but also blocked the other A380 into the capital Airport's footsteps. In mid-August, the North China Civil Aviation Administration of CAAC conducted a safety assessment on the 12-day trial run of the Emirates A380 aircraft at the capital airport.　　The results of this assessment not only extended the UAE air A380 aircraft trial operation period to October 30, but also decided that the Emirates will not increase the operation of the air Capital Airport A380 aircraft operating frequency. "The ability of the capital airport to guarantee the operation of A380 aircraft needs further improvement." "CAAC in the" on the use of A380 aircraft to the Beijing security assessment of the operation of the notice, said, and listed seven issues, including: the existing catering vehicles and passenger boarding vehicles can not provide services for the upper cabin, no application of A380 aircraft except ice, >>　　Runway matching taxi path does not meet the requirements of A380 operation, the surrounding is not available for the A380 of the airport, the capital airport fire level is not up to the requirements and air pipe, ground also needs further professional training and so on. Since the Yichun air crash has broken the highest safety record of China's civil aviation in 2,102 days, to ensure aviation safety, foolproof has become the most important work of CAAC, and the safety standards of the airport will certainly be improved.　　The series of changes brought about by A380 of course cannot be neglected. Because of the huge volume and unprecedented height, all the supporting facilities of A380 need special order, not only the high standard runway and glide road, but also the special double deck bridge, the double-decker catering vehicle and the boarding car, if the winter operation must be equipped with special addition ice。　　And the airport of the A380 flight of the capital airport recently only Shanghai Pudong Airport. "In addition to these hardware facilities, the management also needs to be further strengthened, to know that more than 500 people's boarding, the departure of aircraft compared to other planes even multiplied." CAAC officials said.　　With a total of 526 seats, Lufthansa A380 has more than 517 seats in the Emirates A380 and is the most-loaded aircraft in the Chinese route currently in operation. On the September 2 flight of Lufthansa A380, Air China, which is responsible for its ground service, used the world's largest ast-1x680 mop tractor, which has a body length of 11 meters and a deadweight of 39 tons. The baggage service center arranged 2 platform vehicles, 5 baggage towing vehicles and 2 conveyor belts to carry out baggage handling operations, and the station floor operation Center arranged for more than 50 people to clean the crew.　　In the tractor area in addition to the special A380 tractor, but also prepared a traditional car, contact the mop in advance, and the water dispenser to capacity of 4 tons, sewage trucks, garbage trucks all empty for the flight service.　　At the same time, the value of the counter opened 30 minutes earlier than usual, and the high class and economy passengers in the division, on the left side of E Island opened 10 ordinary cabin counters, in D Island opened first-class and business class area, to enhance the external guidance. A380 due to the large model, the resulting tail flow on the same route on the subsequent aircraft, the impact of the airport must ensure adequate take-off and landing time to reduce the impact, which is also a challenge for the busy capital airport.　　Beijing Capital Airport is one of the world's busiest airports, the first half of this year, the capital airport passenger throughput has exceeded 35 million passengers, ranked second in the world, including international passenger throughput growth of 23.7%. "We began to use the A380 at the same time, began to provide regular training for the service staff in the capital airport." We have 3 professionals as lecturers, including the captain of the A380 China route.　　UAE Airlines told the first financial weekly.　　Since the cabin layout is significantly different from other aircraft, in particular, the great changes in first class facilities and the layout and operating standards of the warehouse, as well as a large capacity for the reception of A380, whether it is cabin cleaning, baggage handling personnel or value machine counters, boarding gate service personnel should be professional training.　　These problems are more obvious when the A380 flight increases, and the air crash makes the CAAC have to pay attention to these problems.　　However, as early as the departure, Lufthansa A380 Beijing to the Frankfurt route September Economic class tickets have been sold out, and is in accordance with the Wednesday class pre-sale, now since only one flight, Lufthansa admitted that some passengers are unable to take A380 flights and feel "very disappointed." "We have increased the capacity of flights from Beijing to Munich through coordination with CAAC, and all passengers can reach their destinations."Frank Püttmann said, "We have tried to notify as many passengers as possible of the change, but we can only contact those who have provided us with contact information or e-mail." "During the four week of September, the passengers who have been transferred to the Finnish airlines for changing models are received every week." "Lin Beixi, China's chief representative for Finnish aviation, called it" a pie in the sky, "but unfortunately our plane was also full, giving them three or four seats each time. "Since July this year, most of the international flights have been a full market, and due to the tense flights, the Beijing Capital Airport and Shanghai Pudong Airport can not add new flights, so A380 has become the best choice to fly Chinese routes, can not only increase the number of passengers to improve the income can not increase flight numbers."　　In the case of Emirates, although the trial run was extended, it did not affect the guest rate of more than 90% of the A380 flights per day. "The strength and speed of the aviation industry's recovery exceeds everyone's expectations. Giovanni Bissignany, chairman and chief executive officer of IATA, said.　　IATA has just increased its 2010-year aviation demand forecast, which expects air demand to grow by 11% this year (above the previous forecast of 10.2%) and capacity growth of 7% (higher than the previous forecast of 5.4%). Air France has also considered using A380 to fly Beijing's winter flights, following Emirates and Lufthansa. At the same time, Lufthansa has not given up its plan to increase A380 flights, "Lufthansa and CAAC continue to negotiate," said Frank Püttmann, "to increase the number of A380 flights at the appropriate time." "The first A380 ordered by China Southern Airlines has entered the final assembly phase of the Airbus European plant and is expected to be delivered next February."　　As A380 's only Chinese subscriber, Southern Airlines is also ready to squeeze A380 into the capital airport, opening Beijing to Amsterdam. But the experience of Lufthansa has made it unclear whether their plans will be implemented as scheduled.
