Malaysia Airlines saves us $10 to let the lost passengers disappear and take you to know about Swift

There are two Chinese sayings that are most suitable for today's Malaysian Airlines. It is because Malaysia Airlines spared 10 dollars that it is so difficult to find the missing plane and missing passengers.

Malaysia Airlines should be rich and poor

No matter how poor the family is, you should be generous on the way. If you should spend it, don't treat yourself badly. This is the Chinese people's view of the journey. As the saying goes, everything is ready, only the east wind. Without preparation, it is easy to have all kinds of problems, such as the missing plane of Malaysia Airlines.

Many Boeing 777 aircraft are equipped with a paid swift system, which allows the lost aircraft to keep in touch with the satellite even if the communication and return systems are closed. For example, the flight altitude, flight direction and engine condition of the aircraft can be transmitted through the satellite.

Penny wise,pound foolish

The paid swift system is not expensive, just $10. In the face of media questioning why it did not install swift system, Malaysia Airlines said: "the" aerohsatcom "communication system is enough to meet the demand. Every dollar goes to fuel. '

However, Malaysia Airlines did not know that after the Air France plane lost contact in 2009, it was the system that greatly reduced the scope of search and rescue. A steady stream of computer information about the lost aircraft was transmitted to the ground, and it was able to find the plane within five working days. Because of the $10 saved by Malaysia Airlines, it now has to spend a lot of money to find the lost plane and missing passengers.
