Chapter 429? Two Hours Delayed Due to Air Traffic Control

Chapter 429 Two hours delayed due to air traffic control

When we arrived at Hongqiao Airport, the military transport representative was already waiting at the priority lane at the security gate. He immediately greeted him and saluted, "The planned departure time of the plane is 15:30. After receiving the order, we immediately coordinated with the airline and the airport to hold But the plane is full. Comrade Li Zhan, I feel sorry for you to sit in the flight attendant’s seat."

The order was issued by China Eastern Airlines Headquarters, requiring the Military Transport Office of Hongqiao Airport to coordinate air tickets, and the Military Transport Office took it very seriously. China Eastern Airlines refers to the East China Sea Fleet Aviation Command, not China Eastern Airlines.

Li Zhan did not dare to pretend to be a hero in front of the director of the Military Transportation Department of the university, so he quickly saluted, "No grievance, thank you, chief!"

"Have you brought a gun?" asked the Director of Military Transportation.

Li Zhan lifted up the hem of his casual clothes to reveal the holster, and the black handle of the Type 92 pistol was exposed.

The director of the Military Transportation Department was not surprised and immediately took out a formality and handed it over, "Fill out the form and sign the name, position, and gun number."

In the priority security lane, Li Zhan took out a pound and a half of black weight and placed it on the table, pressing the form and filling it out quickly. Passengers in the first-class, business-class, and executive-class security lanes next door looked straight. But I was relieved to see several people in military uniforms.

The gun was a gift from Fang Chenghe on behalf of the Second Division when Li Zhan left the Second Division, and he took it with him every time he flew. Flying with a gun is also a training requirement, although there are no live ammunition in it.

The director of the Military Transportation Department thought so too. When he saw Li Zhan unloading the magazine and ejecting the bullet from the steel case, his eyes straightened and the corner of his mouth twitched as he looked at the staff officer who sent Li Zhan over. The staff officer shook his head. Express not knowing.

After hesitating for a while, Li Zhan finished filling out the form. The director of the Military Transportation Division did not make up his mind to stop it. But then he thought about it. There was no precedent for carrying live ammunition on a plane. This was an order directly from China Eastern Airlines Headquarters. There were no formalities. It is difficult to prevent problems.

The most critical thing is that it is impossible to store guns at the military transport office, so there is no other option.

The mysterious passenger here was going through the relevant procedures in an orderly and rapid manner. Over there, on the Airbus 320 passenger plane MU9527 flying to Nangang International Airport, the passengers who had been sitting on the plane for more than an hour were already complaining.

First, there was a delay of more than 30 minutes in the queue for takeoff. After boarding, the plane skidded out and was queued to the second departure number. However, for some reason, the plane was called back and parked on the tarmac again. Passengers saw the cabin The hatch connected to the stairway and opened.

Some passengers who fly frequently understood what was going on immediately and said to the passengers who were not familiar with the situation around them, "Don't believe the flight attendant's nonsense. There is no air traffic control. They must be waiting for some privileged person to board the plane."

"What kind of privileged person is he? A high official?" a tourist who was not familiar with the situation asked curiously.

A frequent flyer said angrily, "Who knows, some powerful people can't escape. It's already midnight when we get home after waiting like this."

Someone who knew the inside story smiled and said with relief, "Generally, planes preparing to take off are called back for urgent business matters. For example, the public security organs are handling cases, such as the emergency transportation of medical resources, and other urgent public safety matters."

"Really or not, I'm afraid it's not the privileged ones who have the power and money."

…

People will always take things for granted, and of course some rumors are not false. All in all, after staying on the plane for another half hour, many passengers became more excited. After several people questioned the stewardess, everyone expressed their strong dissatisfaction.

The flight attendant quickly asked the captain for instructions, and the captain asked the tower for instructions. The ground control desk of the tower gave a reply. The captain immediately began to broadcast: "Good afternoon, dear passengers, I am the captain of this flight. I have just been notified that there is a The officers and soldiers of the army need to return to the team urgently. Since this flight is the last flight to Nangang today, we need to wait for the officers and soldiers to board the plane. Please understand, thank you."

After the broadcast was repeated twice, the passengers understood the situation.

"You should have told me earlier. It's not easy for soldiers to wait as long as they want."

"Yeah, if I had told everyone what was going on, we wouldn't have started a quarrel."

"Where can a soldier sit when the plane is full? If you don't take my seat, I will get off the plane and the ticket money will not be refunded."

…

The flight attendants were surprised by the rapid change in passengers' attitudes and were deeply touched by the understanding behavior of many passengers. And after they learned that the person who was about to board the plane urgently was a soldier, all their complaints disappeared. Flight delays, especially situations like being called back urgently, are the most upsetting, and the crew will also be in a bad mood.

It was already 17:45 in the afternoon when Li Zhan completed the formalities and entered the boarding channel. The last security personnel waiting at the cabin door checked Li Zhan's documents and asked him to board the plane. The fair-skinned and beautiful flight attendants and business class flight attendants greeted guests with standard greeting gestures. Li Zhan nodded to them and apologized, saying, "I have caused you trouble."

"You are very welcome, sir. It is our honor to serve you."

Li Zhan smiled.

The captain opened the cabin door and walked over and said, "Major Li, I have been notified that you should take the second captain's seat."

Li Zhan said awkwardly, "Isn't it appropriate?"

He looked at the fair-skinned and beautiful flight attendant and stewardess and said, "I don't want to cause any trouble to you. I'll just squeeze in with these two comrades."

The steward and stewardess covered their mouths and snickered, looking at Li Zhan with charming eyes, wow, he is so handsome and bad!

The corner of the captain's mouth twitched, "Uh, okay, but the second captain's seat will be reserved for you in the cockpit. You can come and sit at any time."

"Okay, okay, let's take off if there's no problem. The passengers are probably anxious." Li Zhan said with a smile, handed the bag to the flight attendant, and directly put the seat next to the cabin door for the stewardess. I came down and sat down and fastened my seat belt.

The flight attendant is so young and beautiful. There are rumors that China Eastern Airlines has an affair with an airline girl, but it seems that is not true.

Flight MZ9527 was given the priority to jump in line and take off first. After sitting in the cabin and getting ready for takeoff, the flight attendant came over and covered his mouth with a smile, "Major Li, where should I sit?"

Li Zhan patted his thigh generously.

The steward almost laughed out loud, this man is so shameless!

"No kidding, the plane is about to take off. Please check whether your phone is in airplane mode or turned off." The flight attendant put down the seat next to him and sat down while fastening his seat belt.

Of course, it is impossible to sit on the thighs. There is plenty of room for flight attendants, so there is no need to do that.

Li Zhan followed his instructions and took out his mobile phone to check. There was nothing left to check on a brick that could only make calls and send messages. However, the steward saw Li Zhan take out a hard object, and he was shocked when he took a closer look. It was a pistol!

"Don't be nervous." Li Zhan said with a smile, confirming that the pistol and magazine were separated, and reinstalled it into the holster.

The plane took off with a rumble.
