Chapter 1130: A Case of Corruption

The people of Ererbing were very bold. They actually got evidence of bribery from a director of the Civil Aviation Administration who was responsible for route approval, which made Fan Wubing feel more optimistic.

Therefore, Fan Wubing directly brought his people back to Beijing and threw the information directly on the desk of the head of the Civil Aviation Administration.

"Deputy Director Zhang, what do you mean by this?" Fan Wubing looked at the deputy director with a glowing forehead and asked coldly.

Deputy Director Zhang was stunned when he heard the words. Although the Civil Aviation Administration has a lot of money, its political status is not high. In principle, it only enjoys deputy ministerial treatment, which is about the same level as CCTV. When facing Fan Wubing directly, he still felt a little uneasy.

You know, Fan Wubing has long been named a deputy ministerial nemesis by people in the industry.

"What does Mr. Fan mean?" Deputy Director Zhang looked at the information and asked inexplicably.

But when he saw the content of the information, his face changed immediately.

In fact, the Civil Aviation Administration of China is involved in the approval of different links, such as domestic route operating licenses, foreign air transport enterprise route operating licenses, civil aviation enterprises and airports joint, reorganization, participation and restructuring review, civil airport special equipment use license, etc.

Among the serial cases in the civil aviation system, the most typical ones involve the issue of domestic route operating licenses and the procurement of airport equipment.

According to the materials provided by the Domestic Air Transport Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, air transport enterprises must approve and register routes before operating routes.

Although a series of cases involving route violations have made the top leaders realize the necessity of route operation reform, they have also tried to classify all routes and implement separate registration and filing work. However, in practice, filing work only applies to those routes that few companies are interested in, and the rights to operate a large number of routes that can bring economic benefits to air transport companies are still within the approval scope of administrative agencies.

This has also resulted in these directors and deputy directors in the Civil Aviation Administration of China holding great power in their hands.

There is only one director of the General Administration, and the number of deputy directors is also limited. These people naturally will not do any specific work. Therefore, these directors and deputy directors are the key targets of bribes from various airlines, and generally speaking, their bribes can also get a good return, after all, they are the actual operators.

It is said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager, which is exactly in line with this old saying.

The information collected by Fan Wubing,

obviously does not only involve the problem of a director. What he asked Director Zhang to see is not limited to the information on the bribery of Fan Airlines, but also sent people to collect relevant information on bribery by other airlines. It can be said that a considerable number of powerful people in the Civil Aviation Administration of China are involved in the case.

Deputy Director Zhang's face was sweating profusely, knowing that if this thing was exposed, the Civil Aviation Administration of China would be turned upside down.

In fact, Fan Wubing could have directly passed this information to a higher level, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate. After all, the wind in the upper level was not strict. If they hesitated a little, this matter would be yellow.

As long as the news leaked out, several major suspects would definitely be able to escape in the shortest possible time. This was expected. How could officials who had the advantage of aviation fail to do this? And another important point is that some people in China probably also hoped that these suspects would escape successfully.

After all, as long as these people escaped successfully, the guilt on their bodies could be completely shirked.

Therefore, Fan Wubing used his brain to open a gap inside the Civil Aviation Administration of China, which he could use for himself. In this way, using the other party's people to dismantle the other party's platform was obviously the most handy, so he found Deputy Director Zhang who was not deeply involved in the case.

Obviously, Fan Wubing's strategy was successful once. At Fan Wubing's suggestion, Deputy Director Zhang quickly surrendered and expressed his willingness to expose the tainted witness and report these suspects in exchange for a lighter punishment for himself.

Fan Wubing agreed to Deputy Director Zhang's request. In fact, he also had the ability to ensure that Deputy Director Zhang would not be implicated. With Fan Wubing's power and the power of Fan Heng, a member of the Standing Committee, it would be a joke if he could not do this.

Besides, Fan Wubing could rely on more power than this.

After signing the offensive and defensive alliance, Fan Wubing and Deputy Director Zhang took more detailed information and went directly to Boss Zhu to expose all these things.

Boss Zhu was very angry after reading it. He immediately arranged the matter and asked to set up a special task force to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Although this case was relatively low-key, it still caused a lot of waves among the top leaders. Many people did not expect that the problems in the Civil Aviation Administration were so big, nor did they expect that there were so many loopholes in it. After research, everyone generally believed that the collective resistance of civil aviation executives was still due to the lack of fair competition.

Domestic route resistance is the biggest black hole in the civil aviation industry. With such a black hole, how can ordinary people enjoy reasonably priced air services? All resistance costs are finally included in the air ticket price. All people pay for it.

It is not surprising that accidents occur in the civil aviation system, but they are more worrying than accidents in other industries. This is because the civil aviation industry, like the food and pharmaceutical industries, is a field that concerns human life and cannot but make people vigilant.

The management system problems exposed by this route rent-seeking incident cannot be ignored. The right to allocate flight resources is more concentrated, which is not conducive to supervision. The result of gray transactions is that no matter how good marketing and services are, it is useless. Strong companies may be eliminated by those who understand the unspoken rules, resulting in inferior areas chasing good coins. situation.

Because of route rent-seeking, the winning airline will incur millions to tens of millions of yuan more in over-the-counter transaction costs. Some large civil aviation companies spend at least hundreds of millions of yuan on route transactions every year.

These costs will eventually be absorbed through operations. In order to ensure profits, either maintenance expenses or labor costs will be squeezed, or they will be made up for in other aspects. This will actually indirectly reduce the safety factor and increase flight risks.

In the civil aviation industry, the administrative monopoly of upstream resource allocation and the market-oriented competition of downstream terminals coexist at the same time. The civil aviation system will be difficult to straighten out in the long term, and the breeding of corruption is unavoidable. Look at it from this aspect. Although the anti-corruption storm can highlight public opinion and punish corrupt officials, it has not hit the nail on the head of the stubborn problem. A thorough reform of the management system of the civil aviation industry is the fundamental strategy.

For the civil aviation industry, routes and time resources are directly related to passenger flow and final departures, and the allocation rights of carriers are vested in the competent authorities. Currently, there are many airlines on the market, which highlights the golden routes and time mystery. of scarcity.

Therefore, the competition between civil aviation companies eventually turned into a public relations battle for key figures, and various rent-seeking behaviors emerged in an endless stream. The traffic rights coordination fee is precisely the regulated rent of the regulator. This phenomenon has become an unspoken rule in the civil aviation industry. , is also the main reason why many officials have been dismissed one after another in this anti-corruption storm.

As long as the administrative decision-making situation of aviation resources such as routes and schedules is not completely reformed, various innovative measures surrounding the aviation industry will only be superficial and have no real performance to speak of.

The aviation industry's huge capital flow and secretive resource allocation methods have paved the way for all kinds of rent-seeking. The key to overcoming administrative shortcomings is to truly and fairly open market access to all enterprises, promote route bidding in an open and transparent manner, and allocate financial relief funds fairly and reasonably.

As private airlines grow, a small-government structure will emerge naturally, without the need for disciplinary inspection departments to worry too much about supervision.

This also reflects the huge loopholes in the current management of state-owned enterprises. There are so many loopholes in the allocation of route resources, and there are so many loopholes to exploit. If there are loopholes in other aspects. So, how can state-owned enterprises have strong market competitiveness?

More importantly, this kind of problem exists not only in the aviation industry, but also in railway and other railway enterprises. The capacity allocation and route arrangement of many railway cargo transportation often require the use of various irregular means and the payment of various irregular fees. , and even pay and accept bribes to obtain corresponding resources.

Therefore, when Fan Wubing explained to senior officials, he repeatedly emphasized that the series of corruption cases involving civil aviation students were by no means purely individual behaviors, but a reflection of the current status of the entire state-owned enterprise. If the management mechanisms that plague state-owned enterprises are not innovated, the operating mechanisms are not standardized, and management loopholes are not plugged, then various corruption problems cannot be fundamentally controlled. If state-owned enterprises want to truly improve their competitiveness in the international market, they will also become An empty phrase.

What deserves special attention is that because state-owned enterprises do not pay enough attention to their own problems and loopholes and have no determination to change their attitudes, not only is it difficult to improve their market competitiveness, but it also directly affects the participation of private investors in economic construction. Confidence in peace and development makes it difficult to enhance the vitality of the entire national economy, optimize its structure, and change its growth model. This is what is even more terrifying.

After the senior management learned the inside story of this matter, they were still very shocked. Seeing that the meeting was going to be held in two months, Fan Wubing suddenly caused such a big thing, which really interfered with many people's established arrangements. In particular, there is greater pressure on the judicial department in the capital, and there are various forces hidden behind the people involved in the civil aviation system. They also felt very uneasy and started using their connections to lure people. The whole capital suddenly looked like a storm was about to come.

This incident also worries the newly established State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Generally speaking, if the route starting station is affiliated to two regional bureaus, it must be submitted to the regional bureau separately, and some need to be submitted to the general administration for approval. If the non-route operation season changes, the airline will need to report to the Civil Aviation Administration or the relevant civil aviation regional administration according to the jurisdiction of the route operation license applied for.

In this way, the Civil Aviation Administration and the Civil Aviation Regional Administration have become the angels who control the economic lifeblood of each aviation company, basically controlling the profitability of aviation companies. Even the operational changes carried out by aviation companies based on the market-oriented mechanism are often because they involve routes. Destiny is uncontrollable and difficult to push.

However, if it is completely subordinate to the civil aviation system, it may not matter if the meat is rotten in the same pot. However, this year, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, which is directly affiliated with the State Council, was established, and major civil aviation companies were brought under the jurisdiction of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission as central enterprises. Subsequently, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission pushed forward a performance appraisal mechanism for the heads of central enterprises, and the salary of the heads of civil aviation companies began to be directly linked to the company's performance.

In the first year when the performance appraisal results of central enterprises were about to be released, China Southern Airlines became one of the many companies that had made false accounts and was punished by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission for downgrading. Although China Southern Airlines has been working hard to improve, the driving force behind the economic efficiency chain is not the market mechanism. As a result, China Southern Airlines still has constant scandals behind its forge ahead.

In fact, if you look carefully at the previous cases of aviation industry integration, it is not difficult to find that the shadow of local SASAC has been following.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China does intend to improve the current situation of the domestic air cargo industry through various means, encouraging airlines to implement acquisitions, mergers, and reorganizations, and quickly form several full-cargo airlines with a certain scale that can effectively participate in international competition.

Of course, there are many examples of SASAC and CAAC managing the industry together. CAAC has also been committed to the work of industry integration, hoping to make China's civil aviation industry bigger and stronger through industry integration. It has to be said that this is a good idea. Looking at the world, it is indeed difficult to find another country with more airlines than China.

The problem is that the industry integration handled by SASAC is not carried out in accordance with the fair, just and open market economy principles. For this reason, the integration process is nothing more than another stage for ** to breed.

Although social public opinion is very lively, the vortex of the typhoon is indeed the calmest. Executives in the aviation industry are far less panicked than the outside world imagines. Although they are ants on a rope, they all firmly believe that the rope will not break.

Many media outlets have criticized the civil aviation industry from the perspective of mechanism and system. Of course, it cannot be said that there are no problems with the mechanism and system in the civil aviation industry, but the key is that the mechanism and system cannot be completely destroyed and rebuilt.

Some industry insiders believe that if aviation reform is really going to be desperate, then a fair, open and just market competition mechanism must be introduced. But in fact, everyone who pays attention to the aviation industry knows that this is just a show. Introducing private capital to revitalize the market is just a strategy.

Relying on internal reforms to clear the market has no successful precedent, at least so far.

The most important point is that only a few people know about the news that Deputy Director Zhang turned against the government. Because of this, the people involved in the case of the Civil Aviation Administration believe that it is impossible to have large-scale actions against them in a short period of time.
