Starting June 21, Galaxy Technology Co., Ltd. began delivering the "Galaxy·Qingluan 98" regional jet to domestic airlines.
The news quickly spread to the media and then online, prompting countless netizens to cheer and express their willingness to take the "Galaxy·Qingluan 98" bus for their recent travels.
At this time, major domestic airlines also launched various ticket promotions to compete for customers.
"China Southern Airlines, 40% off tickets! Welcome aboard China's own aircraft—the Galaxy Blue Phoenix 98!!!"
"China Eastern Airlines boasts a fleet of 50 domestically produced 'Galaxy·Qingluan 98' aircraft, offering excellent value and attentive service, providing you with meticulous care!"
Choose Air China, choose "Galaxy·Azure 98," and make your travel more comfortable and convenient!
"..."
Many people in China have never flown before. At this moment, the price of airfare has dropped significantly, only slightly more expensive than a train ticket. This price is so cheap that it is hard not to feel tempted.
"It only costs a few dozen or a hundred yuan more than the train fare to take a plane ticket! My goodness, are plane tickets this cheap?!" Zhou Xiaoxiao exclaimed excitedly as she looked at the airfare prices on Ctrip. She usually travels by train, but at this moment she immediately decided to take her first ever plane ride!
There are countless people in China like Zhou Xiaoxia who have never flown before because plane tickets used to be very expensive, costing six, seven, eight hundred or even over a thousand yuan. But now they have dropped to below five hundred yuan, and tickets between some cities are even only around one hundred yuan.
The price reduction of domestic airfares is due to two main reasons: firstly, the "Galaxy·Qingluan 98" ticket is very cheap; secondly, airlines have more aircraft and have opened more feeder routes, leading them to increase load factors by selling more at lower profit margins.
...
Before long, a large number of users who had ridden the "Galaxy·Qingluan 98" shared their riding experiences on Facebook and Weibo.
A netizen named "Egg's Sorrow" commented: "This was my first time flying, and it was on the 'Galaxy·Qingluan 98' regional jet, developed by our own country! The experience was truly unforgettable! The 'Galaxy·Qingluan 98' is incredibly beautiful and elegant; it stands out like a crane among chickens at the airport. As I entered the airport, I was instantly captivated by it, my gaze lingering there for a long time, deeply moved! The thought that such an advanced aircraft was developed and manufactured by our own country filled me with pride for our powerful motherland!!!"
Netizen "Jiangbei's Number One Handsome Guy" commented: "Just flew on the Galaxy·Qingluan 98, and it was perfect! The plane was fast and stable, very comfortable, and the price was very affordable! Anyone who hasn't tried it should give it a shot!"

China's aviation market has experienced an unprecedented boom. Starting in July, the domestic passenger and cargo market size increased by 252% and 331% respectively, which is truly astonishing.
Boeing is now filled with regret, and its biggest competitor, Airbus, has taken advantage of the situation by reaching several cooperation agreements with Chinese airlines.
...
The demand for regional jets in Southeast Asia and Latin America far exceeds that for mainline jets.
The sudden emergence of "Galaxy·Azure Phoenix 98" naturally attracted their attention.
Upon seeing the stable and successful operation of the "Galaxy·Qingluan 98" in China, they quickly contacted Galaxy Technology Company, intending to purchase the aircraft. The "Galaxy·Qingluan 98" boasts a large passenger capacity, powerful performance, and an affordable price—it's practically synonymous with high quality at a low cost, so it's no wonder they were tempted to buy it.
"Chairman Zhao, representatives from Southeast Asia—Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines—have already visited our company, expressing interest in purchasing approximately 220 'Galaxy·Qingluan 98' aircraft. Additionally, representatives from Latin America—Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina—have also arrived, planning to purchase over 50 aircraft!"
"Our price is $12.5 million, which gives us an absolute price advantage compared to similar foreign regional jet brands!"
After saying that, Chu Peng was a little depressed, feeling that the price of "Galaxy·Azure Phoenix 98" was too cheap.
He believes that even at $16 million, there would still be many foreign airlines willing to buy the "Galaxy Blue Phoenix 98".
"Chairman Zhao, our 'Galaxy·Azure Phoenix 98' is so popular, should we raise the price?" Chu Peng thought for a moment and then suggested to Zhao Ye.
Zhao Ye smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "Our aircraft haven't gained complete market acceptance yet, so I still don't recommend raising prices. What we need to do now is to quickly seize the regional jet market through a low-price strategy, and then crush foreign regional jet manufacturers. Just imagine how big the impact would be if the most common aircraft flying in the skies were manufactured by our Galaxy Technology Company!"
In fact, Zhao Ye is not short of money. Taking the low-price route is beneficial to the development of the domestic aircraft manufacturing industry. He should first make a name for himself, and then reap the rewards when his technology becomes more advanced.
Currently, many countries still trust European and American aircraft brands more, after all, they have been working in the civil aviation field for many years. In addition, Europe and the United States refuse to issue airworthiness certificates. Therefore, Galaxy Technology Company must use high-quality and low-priced products to break into the market. So, it is best not to talk to them about morality. I can make a lot of money selling for $12.5 million, but you will lose money selling for $12.5 million. The labor costs and aircraft parts costs in Europe and the United States are much higher than those in China.
