No.1 Shanghai's summer average daily flight volume reached 110% in 2019

According to data from the Air Traffic Control Center of the East China Air Traffic Control Bureau, since July 1, the daily average number of guaranteed flights in the Shanghai region has reached 6987, which is 110% of the same period in 2019. On July 14, it set a single day guarantee record of 7269 flights.

At the same time, the volume of two flights in Shanghai has also reached new highs. Hongqiao Airport guarantees an average of 745 sorties per day, surpassing the data for the same period in 2019. Among them, July 1st was the recent peak for single day flights, reaching 810 sorties. Pudong Airport guarantees an average of 1327 sorties per day, reaching over 90% of the same period in 2019. July 11th was the recent peak, reaching 1405 sorties.

However, with the strong recovery of flights, there have been rare complex weather events in recent years. Since the first ten days of June, East China has been affected by the Northeast Cold Vortex and the Horse latitudes, and the weather is extremely complicated. It is reported that at present, the East China Air Traffic Control Bureau's air traffic control center and surrounding control units have established a normalized collaborative mechanism to jointly make decisions and develop ADP control pre tactics on the day before daily operation, enhancing the efficiency of collaborative decision-making.

NO.2 One person detained due to flight delay caused by arguments on board

Recently, on a flight from Kunming to Beijing, two passengers clashed fiercely due to seat backrest adjustments, resulting in a 93 minute flight delay.

The flight was originally scheduled to depart at 8:20 am. After boarding, two passengers in the front and rear positions on the plane had an argument over adjusting the seat backs, and the flight safety officer suggested changing seats. But at this moment, both of them were emotional and unwilling to change seats. Subsequently, the rear passengers smashed the paper bag containing drinks at the front passengers. At that time, the cabin was in chaos, and the front passengers reported the police.

After learning about the situation, the police at the airport police station imposed a 3-day administrative detention on the rear row passengers in accordance with the law, and criticized and educated another passenger.

NO.3 China Eastern Airlines Plus Singapore

On July 20, China Eastern Airlines opened a direct flight from Beijing Daxing International Airport to Singapore, becoming the first airline in Singapore to and from Beijing Daxing International Airport. At this point, China Eastern Airlines' weekly round-trip flights to Singapore reached 66, which has returned to 87% before the epidemic.

According to the relevant person in charge of China Eastern Airlines' Singapore business department, in mid August, China Eastern Airlines will further encrypt the Shanghai Singapore route and add a new Hefei Singapore route. At that time, China Eastern Airlines will have 80 flights per week between Singapore and China, exceeding the same level in 2019. Passengers can fly from Singapore to seven cities in China, including Shanghai, Beijing, Xi'an, Kunming, Yantai, Changsha, and Hefei.

According to the consul of the Chinese Embassy in Singapore, the Chinese government will resume a 15 day visa free entry policy for Singaporean citizens who come to China with regular passports for business, tourism, family and friends visits, and transit starting from 0:00 Beijing time on July 26th. Singaporean citizens who have previously received visas to China continue to hold valid visas. Visa applications that have been accepted will be processed and issued normally.

NO.4 Hong Kong Express's First Recruitment of Mainland Aircrew

After Cathay Pacific launched the recruitment of flight attendants in the mainland, HK Express, its low-cost brand, also recruited flight attendants from the Hong Kong base for the first time in the mainland today.

However, Hong Kong Express has stricter requirements for flight attendants than Cathay Pacific, such as requiring a bachelor's degree or above, a CET-4 score of 425 or above in English, or other equivalent ability assessments. Cathay Pacific only requires a high school education or above at the age of 18, and its requirements for English are relatively vague.

In terms of welfare, the recruitment announcement for Hong Kong Express stated that it will assist job seekers in relocating to Hong Kong and can also reside in Greater Bay Area cities (Zhuhai, Shenzhen, etc.) within 90 minutes of commuting to Hong Kong airport. Qualified applicants who have been screened will receive emails and participate in interviews. Passed applicants are expected to join the company in the fourth quarter of this year.
