By May 1, more details of the incident were revealed.
Initially, China Eastern Airlines reported that “on April 29, during preparations for the company’s flight from Xi’an to Shanghai, the slide was released. The company handled it quickly according to procedures, and passengers on the flight were protected normally. The company deeply apologizes for this and is responding to the incident. For further investigation.”
Later, an insider at the airport revealed that the passenger plane involved was an Airbus A320 passenger plane carrying passengers arriving at Pudong Airport at the time. Preliminary understanding revealed that the incident was caused by a conflict among crew members, which resulted in the emergency slide being suddenly released.
By May 1, another person in the civil aviation circle revealed, “The flight attendant involved has been flying for 10 years… As for whether this incident will affect colleagues, it depends on how the airline handles it.”
According to senior aviation experts, the emergency hatch is designed to respond to emergencies and can be opened smoothly as soon as possible, so it is easy to open in operation. But if the aircraft slide is accidentally released, the damage will be huge. Because aircraft slides require professionals to fold and maintain them, and planes that could fly have to be parked, it will affect flights.
People in the civil aviation circle also said that if the emergency slide is damaged after being released, the compensation amount can be as high as more than 500,000 (RMB), which is equivalent to a BMW 5 Series.
As for how expensive the emergency slide is? People in the civil aviation circle said that although it can be easily opened in just a few seconds, its recovery process is very long, and a professional team will need about 20 days to fold it specifically. And once opened, even if not used, it must be sent to the workshop for inspection. If damage occurs, it must be scrapped. Most of this testing process has to be carried out abroad, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.
In response to this, many netizens joked, “This contradiction is very expensive”, “One BMW 5 Series is gone”, “China Eastern Airlines should really rectify it”, “Can it still be like this? Fortunately, it was parked on the ground. . What would happen if it were in heaven?
