Scorching July, for all passengers of the aircraft concerned were some tough days. With summer typhoons and thunderstorms this time of year there will be a variety of large-scale flight delays.
But this year the situation has somewhat different, although the former are known as the strongest typhoon "Ramasun" comes immediately after the "Madam." However, this year the focus is clearly not a variety of super typhoon, but for the first time publicly announced prior to the exercise, "the airspace occupied by other users."
"Other users occupied" in the civil aviation practitioners has become an open secret, I often receive an accompanied DLA (code delay) and "mxxxxx activation" dynamic content flights telegram at work. Of course, with "other users occupying the airspace," the statement was made, but also the times of dynamic telegraph became an "other airspace user".
Relatively rare, this exercise is used to predict the "other users" occupied airspace time and area. Compared to the past, at short notice, with a lot of preparation time. The so-called not only to the security of, the author has already done until August 15 every weekday overtime prepared.
During this time the need for travel, in particular, visitors need to travel by plane, the author based on years of work experience, to talk about how to choose these delays continue doomed day trip suitable flights, to avoid delays. Since international flights usually belong to give priority to protecting flights, when conditions permit, are priority takeoff, the paper will not discuss, mainly to talk about domestic flights.
Early bird gets the worm
Exclude uncontrollable weather, delays to say the hardest hit, it must be from 9 am to 11:00, 13:00 to 3:00, 19:00 to 9:00 time period of several. The three time periods are scheduled airline flights in peak periods, a large number of aircraft out of Hong Kong is likely to cause "traffic jam." The "others" use of airspace more time during the day, at night, there are many delays during the day due to flight delays caused by the preceding paragraph.
Delays probability is relatively small early morning flight flights. In the morning between 7:00 to 9:00, the density of flights scheduled smaller and less encountered traffic control or occupy airspace and so on. Especially in the morning around 7 o'clock flight, often the first batch, punctuality rate higher than the same period of the flight route other than a lot.
Informed that "other users" will be a long time "occupy airspace", the airlines have also changed flight schedules, increased the number of flights departing around 7:00. Although the ride 7:00 flight arrived at 6:00 implies terminal check-in formalities and leaving for the terminal at an earlier time. However, the early bird catches the worm, early morning flight delays less, within the terminal or sit and cabin a few hours, do not sleep late or leave early, I think our readers will have their own answers.
My game, my turf, my rules
Of course, choose morning flights is not necessarily insurance because some morning departure flight was performed by the flight the next day the night before the last scheduled flight arrivals in the car park. If the day before "sides of the last machine" delayed very late, lack of adequate crew rest time (Note: the Civil Aviation Administration, crew rest time must be more than twice the time of flight, and not less than 8 hours), compared with the second day early flights are also affected.
And then how aircraft / airline crew available for selection on has a considerable advantage at the airport: the day before the early arrivals of aircraft and flight crew executed earlier. Delays due to late arrivals, lack of adequate maintenance and rest time of flight of aircraft may be performed later.
The most advantage of this situation than the headquarters at the airport location airlines, because they have the largest aircraft and crew are available.
In Shanghai Hongqiao Airport flights to Beijing, for example, is headquartered in Shanghai, China Eastern Airlines, the morning 0755 flights departing the past 30 days punctuality rate of 84.62%, while in the same period 0800 departing Air China flights in the past 30 days punctuality rate of only 66.7% .
This is because the non-exceptional circumstances, only two aircraft per day Air arrivals car park overnight at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, perform the next morning flight. The Eastern sitting headquarters location of this airport, with more flexibility for deployment, avoid morning first flight departure delays. And because it is the headquarters of the local air traffic control officers at the headquarters of the release will be slightly to those airlines could take off priority under the same conditions.
Major domestic airlines and their headquarters:
Air China - Beijing
Eastern - Shanghai
China Southern Airlines - Guangzhou
Hainan Airlines - Haikou
Sichuan Airlines - Chengdu
Xiamen Airlines - Xiamen
Shandong Airlines - Jinan
Without uproar early departure
Even more pressing, "Raiders" to operate, you readers may still be a variety of reasons, can not choose the best trip flights, were delayed or encounter a variety of force majeure. So what can we do at this time, so that he can travel earlier it?
Part of excited passengers use their own fists to discuss that, as a few days ago was beaten Shenzhen airport staff. Although this type of aggressive behavior that people can succeed on the news and in administrative detention, but can not but lead to a smooth trip.
Although few visitors can do, but at least will not allow flights because of their own reasons for further delay. That is, no noise no trouble at ease waiting, ensure timely boarding flight, avoid the waiting passengers or adjust the number of passengers and delay again.
This is because when a delayed flight departure satisfy the conditions (such as the weather improved, the flow control cancel), there will be a lot of aircraft waiting in departure. Who should complete the boarding and close the aircraft door, who can line up the first accounting number. If for passengers late, missed the queuing time, it would have to be prepared to re-queue, you may have to wait an hour. If the number of passengers did not appear to be pulled down and more (usually more than 5), in order to flight safety, aircraft ready to take off before the data was recalculated. One to one to turn to delay more time. These are among the daily work of the author in common situations.
As every day, directly or indirectly dealing with passengers, I understand very well the mood travelers encounter when flight delays, but also hope that every airline passenger can wait rational process, not to take drastic action against staff. For civil aviation employees, they prefer punctuality than passenger flights can land and take off, to also take the rights of rational means.
Finally, I wish each and every guest can flight punctuality, safe landing.
