Starting from the helicopter base located in Yantian District, Shenzhen, passing through the world -class port Yantian Port, overlooking many freighters from the ocean from high altitude. Looking at the city in the city, the landmark buildings in the Central District of Futian are also clearly visible. Looking at the other direction, many islands in Hong Kong are distributed on the sea ... On the 22nd, a reporter from Yangcheng Evening News took the Eastern Navigation Helicopter to overlook the city.

It is understood that Yantian's helicopter base is the only base in the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area that integrates multi -functions such as the parking, maintenance, display, and science popularization of the helicopter. In addition to providing tourist and sightseeing products, helicopters also frequently travel to and from the "air corridor" in intercity to achieve air commuting. The "15 -minute economic life circle" of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area was developed in the eastern part of Shenzhen and is slowly rolling.

Innovate consumer formats to build aviation culture

It is understood that Eastern Navigation was established in 2016 and is headquartered in Yantian District, Shenzhen. Among them, the operation base of the Eastern Public Airlines Headquarters was completed last year. The base can accommodate more than a dozen helicopters and build a helicopter -themed popular science venue.

According to Liu Yongli, Chief Executive Officer of Eastern Navigation, in addition to sightseeing, tourists can also complete the skydiving experience under the leadership of professional coaches. The company also linked with a five -star hotel to launch a helicopter from the top of the hotel to shoot wedding videos and other businesses. The popular science hall at the base will regularly carry out theme activities, so that children can also touch and experience helicopters at close range to understand their development history and principles.

"Our activities revolved around aviation culture and helicopter culture, and continuously innovatively launched tourism consumer products." Liu Yongli said. According to the different services and different models provided, the prices are different. Among them, the price of family experience flying has taken the line of parental people, such as the "Zhenmei Coast Empty Travel Family Tri -Package" is priced at 1888 yuan.

According to the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" plan for the development of the tourism industry in Shenzhen, in the future, Shenzhen will also promote the development of "helicopters + cruise ships", "airplane + cruise ships" and "high -speed rail + cruise ships", and actively develop low -altitude tourism, air -sea joint transportation, and sea iron joint transportation products.

Adapt for commutes to build an air corridor

The helicopter "falling from the sky" is not only a rare tourist experience, but also an unparalleled way to travel and commute: non -traffic jam, fast speed.

In Shenzhen, helicopters can bear the function of "air ferry". When a large aircraft landing at Baoan International Airport, passengers can transfer helicopters to reach the city's CBD; passengers can also set sail from eastern Shenzhen and quickly reach the city center ... "We opened the last mile of the world -class hub airport and urban center to achieve realization The hub airport arrived at the city's CBD 7 minutes. "Liu Yongli said.

With the frequent exchanges between helicopters, the intercity "air corridor" is also being built slowly. According to Liu Yongli, enterprises are committed to creating the "15 -minute economic life circle" in the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area helicopter. Last year, the "attendance" business undertaken by Eastern Navigation reached more than 1,000 take -off and landing. This means that two or three companies daily complete the internal or intercity commuting through the helicopter. Many famous companies in Shenzhen and Fortune 500 companies nationwide, such as Huawei, Ping An, JD, Tencent, etc., have established normal cooperative relationships with the company. At present, Eastern Navigation has 100 fixed routes in the Greater Bay Area. As the frequency of travel increases, the operating cost of the helicopter will gradually decrease, and the price may be reduced. The helicopter flying into the "ordinary people's home" and the achievement of daily travel are expected to become possible.

Today, in eastern Shenzhen, the world -class port Yantian Port, the waterway is developed, and the increasing popularity of helicopter traffic business, a three -dimensional traffic network covering water and air is rolled out of the Greater Bay Area. In the future, the three -dimensional three -dimensional integrated transportation system of Shenzhen -Hong Kong Eastern Portrait will gradually form ...

The helicopter body and multiple jobs can also be "unmanned" in the future

The helicopter is like a "diligent" office worker, active in the field of tourism and transportation. In the field of public welfare, the performance of helicopters is equally good. The base also parked with a professional rescue helicopter. The equipment in the "air ambulance" is even more advanced than the road ambulance.

At present, it takes over many public welfare rescue tasks, the level of rescue has reached the international standard, and can achieve rescue of any scene. In addition to advanced hardware equipment, the base also trains a high -level rescue team. Earlier, helicopters rescued a family of drowning, and a donkey friend who was lost in the mountains. Not long ago, the base received a cooperation request from the ground public welfare rescue team. According to the positioning information they sent, they successfully rescued the trapped donkey in Qiang Niang Mountain at night.

Rushing into the sky will open more imagination in the future. Rich tourism products and traffic -the continuous enrichment and popularity of helicopter business will also promote the optimization of the regional business environment. "This will also become part of the soft power of Yantian District." Liu Yongli said. In the future, the base will continue to expand the area, planning to make the world's largest helicopter science popularization base, and the global helicopter forum.

In this international city in Shenzhen, a helicopter that flights to low altitude are "frequent visits".The city of technology will continue to empower the helicopter and its format.There are two drones in the base, which can take two passengers.It is understood that the Eastern Base is currently the first base in the world to explore helicopters and the fusion of drones.In the near future, the helicopter of the drone is like a "driverless" helicopter, which can fly on the blue sky and achieve the "drone" air tour and travel in accordance with the routes set in advance.You can even click the appointment to "fly" like an online car."It is expected that from 2023 to 2025, unmanned aircraft is expected to replace the existing helicopter." Zhang Lianyu, deputy general manager of Eastern Navigation.
