As the opening ceremony of the Asian Games approaches, today (September 21), the Hangzhou Asian Games will see the highest number of delegations arriving in a single day. Chao News reporters learned that today more than 3,200 Asian-related personnel from delegations from 35 countries and regions will arrive at Xiaoshan Airport to start their Asian Games journey.
“Sawadika”, at 8 a.m., the 284-member Thai sports delegation took flight CA734 and landed at Hangzhou Airport following a 4-hour flight. As soon as they got off the plane, volunteers sent warm greetings in Thai. After going through health quarantine and border inspection, the delegation successfully picked up their luggage, and were led by volunteers to the ground transfer and boarding point, where they boarded a direct shuttle bus to the Asian Games Village.
According to the arrival and departure management system, as the official entry and exit port of the Asian Games, Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport has guaranteed a total of 488 inbound flights involving Asia, transporting athletes from various countries and regions, Olympic Committee members, technical officials, media, broadcasters and other events. There are more than 5,890 personnel.
On that day, Hangzhou Airport is expected to receive 175 flights involving Asia. Especially during peak hours, 18 inbound flights will be guaranteed within one hour, carrying nearly 900 people involved in Asia.
How to ensure the supplies of incoming people during peak hours? The Arrival and Departure Command Center of the event headquarters collects in advance the information characteristics of incoming flights, personnel and materials on the day through the arrival and departure management system and the event personnel itinerary information analysis system. It relies on visual charts to achieve a comprehensive display of data, analyze the flow of personnel, and flexibly deploy services. Strength to meet peak challenges. During the peak hours of concentrated entry, the original four “Asian Games dedicated lanes” were increased to six to eight, and more than 120 foreign language volunteers were arranged to be on duty at the same time, improving the service guarantee capability for short-term concentrated arrivals and departures.
“As early as a week ago, we predicted through the system that there would be peak inbound passenger flow in the three days before the opening ceremony on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd. To this end, the arrival and departure command center cooperated with the airport, customs, border inspection and other units , analyze possible congestion points on the arrival streamline, increase channels and personnel, and ensure that Asian Games personnel can move smoothly.” said Li Jun, deputy commander of the arrival and departure command center of the event headquarters.
Digital technology has injected “new momentum” into arrival and departure services. For example, the arrival and departure management system and event personnel itinerary information analysis system rely on data sharing and other means to collect customer group information in advance to achieve dynamic tracking and real-time analysis of arrival and departure data. In the entry quarantine area, the airport customs integrates multiple links such as passenger health declaration verification and hand luggage machine inspection to achieve one-stop supervision. The border inspection station predicts the trend of customs clearance traffic in advance, sets up an emergency reinforcement team for the Asian Games to prepare for large traffic, and innovatively implements electronic verification of identity registration cards to facilitate quick customs clearance for unaccompanied persons.
At the same time, in view of the difficulties in ensuring luggage for large-scale events, the Arrival and Departure Command Center coordinated the airport to strengthen luggage loading and unloading support, and reminded participating delegations to post special Asian Games luggage tags at the front station to shorten the arrival time of luggage.
Among the various types of sports equipment carried by athletes, such as paddles, kayaks and other oversized luggage, the length is more than 3 meters, and the normal check-in process cannot meet the entry requirements. To this end, Hangzhou Airport has innovatively designed 8 special luggage trolleys with guardrails, which can carry 8-10 pieces of large luggage at a time. The loading capacity is nearly three times higher than the original luggage trolleys at the airport, achieving efficient and rapid guarantee of materials.
“A commercial flight involving Asia usually carries regarding 30 to 40 pieces of oversized baggage, while charter flights involving Asia often carry over 100 pieces of oversized baggage. The transportation efficiency of traditional luggage trolleys is very low and it is easy to slip. In view of We have developed this special luggage trolley to meet the needs of multiple batches and multiple pieces of over-the-standard luggage,” said Hu Shuai, baggage department manager of Hangzhou Airport Ground Handling Company.
In addition to personnel and materials, the first batch of competition horses also arrived at Hangzhou Airport on the same day. At 2 a.m., 51 racehorses successfully entered the country and cleared customs following more than 10 hours of flight. In order to ensure good security, Hangzhou Airport and Customs, in accordance with the requirement of “people and horses are not separated”, set up a special team for horse transportation in advance, built a dedicated customs clearance site for horse boys, and deployed tractors and forklifts to strengthen on-site loading and unloading. Three hours later, the horses successfully completed the port customs clearance procedures, and nine horse-drawn carriages loaded with horses drove out of Hangzhou Airport. Next, these racehorses will also undergo quarantine at the isolation facility. After passing the quarantine, he will make his debut in the Asian Games.
