At 0:15 a.m. today (January 20), a plane from Zhejiang Changlong Airlines with flight number GJ8030 landed at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport.
When the hatch opened, all that came down were young faces. They are from Chang'an University in Xi'an, with a total of 69 people.
This is the first charter flight from Xi'an to Hangzhou this year.
When the children came out of the arrival gate with their suitcases in tow, they saw their parents, relatives and friends who had not seen them for a long time, pulling banners to welcome them, and immediately hugged each other and cried with joy.
Hangzhou, we are back! This is the sentence that many people want to say the most.
A week ago, it was close to the winter vacation, and the Hangzhou boy tong tong, who was studying at Chang'an University, was a little anxious and called home, "Dad, what about the Spring Festival?" I want to go home. ”
Previously, the school strengthened epidemic prevention and control and adopted closed management. Seeing that the winter vacation is over, going home for the New Year is not only the expectation of the students, but also a concern in the hearts of parents.
Tong's father said: "After we contacted the school, we found that it was difficult to come back, and there were many procedures to go through, the most important thing was that the prevention and control policies in various places were not the same, and the need to return to the hometown did not need to carry out the '14 + 7' isolation management. ”
However, for students studying in other places, going home for the New Year is an expectation. For parents, the Spring Festival should be a family reunion day, "the children are not at home, and the New Year is not like the New Year." ”
With the adjustment of xi'an's epidemic control policy, Tong's father continued to contact and communicate with the school, and when he learned that his son could return, but needed to return home in a closed loop, he came up with the idea of chartering a plane home for students who could return home in Zhejiang. "I thought of Zhejiang's local airline, Changlong Airlines."
Deng Wenyu, general manager of Changlong Airlines Northwest Branch, took over the matter about a week ago and got in touch with his parents. "Xi'an out of the need for epidemic prevention and control, the airport has been suspended before, if you want to pick up the students back, the company needs to specially transfer a plane to the past, but also need to temporarily apply for flight schedules, etc., and the winter vacation is just around the corner, the time is very tight."
After many contacts with the airline, the father of the child saw hope.
Many parents have expressed their willingness to join the team of charter flights and let their children go home safely and smoothly. "Charter flights are relatively safe, and the school has a special bus to the airport to wait for the plane, and then directly get on the plane." Tong Dad said.
After learning of this incident, The Pacific Property & Casualty Insurance Company, a strategic partner of Changlong Airlines, also specially presented a comprehensive insurance protection for the students of this charter flight with a total sum insured of up to 2 million yuan per person.
Initially, there were about 180 students who intended to charter a flight home, but as they were able to return home by train, some students chose the train, and only 69 students returned by charter flight.
Before the pick-up today, parents made banners and pennants to send to Long Dragon Airlines.
After getting on the plane, the flight attendant interacted with the students and took a group photo.
"The road home is long, and we are very grateful to this responsible and responsible Zhejiang local airline, as well as the school and the policy support of the local epidemic prevention and control departments." Tong's father said that for them, the Spring Festival in 2022 is neat and tidy, reunited and complete.
