  • The most amazing century-old store in the world? 3M: We can make anything but God!

    The full name of 3M company is Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company). It was founded in 1902 and is headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA. Minnesota has 2 airports to form a twin star pattern! 3M company is the business card of Minnesota, USA, just like lobster in Maine! When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in 2020, no one thought that masks would become hard currency and become a rigid demand in people’s daily lives. Scientific wearing of masks has become a compulsory course for everyone. Among many types of masks, the best protective effect is n95, so n95 masks also became the best-selling champion at that time. Many people went from not wearing masks to learning to wear masks scientifically to being able to distinguish the quality and model of masks. Wearing masks scientifically can effectively block the spread of diseases, so people attach great importance to this matter. Because of the importance of masks, many people know a company called 3M, and when it comes to masks, they think of 3M as a platform. Many people know this company because of buying masks, but for 3M, its industry is not limited to masks, and masks are only a small part of its industrial chain. This company contains an extremely wide range of industrial fields, involving countless fields, in industrial chemicals, electronics, communications, transportation, automobiles, aviation, etc. As long as you can think of it, this company has a design, as long as it exists in the social industry, this company has coverage. 3M company is also known as a legend in the industry, and there seems to be nothing that 3M can’t make. 1. Brand determination Although masks were not a necessity for life before the outbreak of the epidemic, people often use masks to protect their respiratory system when smog and bad weather occur in many places. Before this, the market for masks was relatively small and did not have such a large demand, but it has always been marketable. With the outbreak of the epidemic, it has not become a necessity for life, so the market demand has increased sharply and the supply is in short supply. However, there is also market competition. The masks under 3M can stand out from many mask brands. Because the epidemic is coming, people want better quality n95 masks when choosing masks, and 3M masks among many n95 masks have been favored and trusted by the public. Many people look for this brand when buying masks, thinking that buying 3M masks must be right. 3M’s brand has always been deeply loved by the masses. In the hearts of the public, he is known as the representative of health. Whether it is SARS, smog or the current epidemic, he is the first choice brand in people’s hearts. The epidemic has further exacerbated the influence of this brand and established the image of 3M as mask processing in people’s hearts. People do not have a deep understanding of 3M. As long as it can meet the daily demand for masks, people think that 3M is just a mask processing factory, but they do not know that it involves all aspects of our lives. From small office supplies to medical protection facilities, the 3M brand can be seen everywhere. For example, the tape used in our daily life, the reflectors on the road and the electronic devices that can be used for people’s entertainment all come from this company. It has penetrated into all aspects of our lives unknowingly, but we have never cared about it. 2. The development of 3M. So who created this omnipotent and omnipotent 3M industry? This started 118 years ago. In 1902, the United States set off a gold rush. Mining became the path to wealth that people were keen to pursue at that time. Many people began to set up mining companies, and 3M’s predecessor was also a formal mining company. Five young people with a gold rush came together and started a mining company. But starting a business is not as easy as imagined. Although they all know that mining can get rich quickly, the risks and technologies involved need to be overcome one by one. And not every gold prospector can achieve their dream of wealth. It is precisely these five people who are a clear example. Their mining road was not smooth and ended in a fiasco. Not only did they not make a fortune through mining, but they also lost a mess. But these five young people did not give up easily, but looked for another opportunity. The so-called all roads lead to Rome. If this road doesn’t work, try that one. After all, those who have the courage to try at that time are more likely to succeed. After failing to establish a mining company, they finally found a new business opportunity through unremitting efforts. In 1914, the sandpaper they developed was successfully launched and became an exclusive product. The market demand for sandpaper continued to expand, and they did not become complacent. When I first developed this product, it was aimed at some problems in automobile manufacturing. At that time, the scratched parts of the car needed to be painted, and some areas that were not sprayed properly needed to be covered. It was very difficult to find something that could have a blocking effect and not affect the appearance. This problem was also discovered by a 3M employee who wanted to help the car repairman solve this problem. It was a kind of isolation tape that could be used on the car that was invented. Since then, it has been upgraded and processed, and scotch tape has come into being. The creation of scotch tape has brought great convenience to people, and it has become a necessity for every family. For 3M, the invention of scotch tape at that time was just to think that some industries would use it for sealing and moisture protection, but it did not expect that it could affect people’s lives and involve all aspects of people’s lives, so much so that during the Great Depression, many factories used this tape to reduce production costs. Speaking of which, many people found that scotch tape was also a product made by 3M companies, and they began to have a new understanding of the brand, but its achievements do not stop there. In daily life, we not only use scotch tape, but also have a must-have item, that is, post-it notes. Office post-it notes can be seen everywhere. In schools, students will also use post-it notes to mark and review books, which is enough to reflect its wide range of uses. Although we have all used post-it notes, the dramatic story behind the invention of post-it notes is rarely known. The story took place in the 1970s, when a 3M research and development scientist invented a highly sticky glue, and when he invented this sticky glue, he accidentally invented a weak sticky glue. The scientist named Silver did not want to give up his invention. He wanted to find a way to make this glue into products and use it in people’s daily lives, but couldn’t think of a good way. So I called my scientific colleagues to discuss it together. Just at this time, one of the researchers participating in the meeting was a member of the choir. He often felt very annoying these days because his marked poem pages always fell, so he used this weak glue to solve this problem. It is also because of this that the weak glue has a place to use and can become a good helper to solve some small troubles in life. After processing and perfecting, it is made into post-it notes. Now we can buy post-it notes in stationery stores, and the post-it notes come in a variety of styles and look very beautiful. 3M Group shows endless creativity. Its employees will always be curious about some things and then deeply study and solve problems, so as to create things that have never been seen in the world. The purpose is to make everything in the world more convenient and help people enjoy life better. Therefore, we have to sigh at 3M’s creativity. 3. Unique rules can become a century-old store. 3M relies on its super innovation ability. Up to now, 3M has developed nearly 70,000 products and holds 118,000 patents. In the Forbes global innovation company ranking, 3M once ranked third, second only to Apple and Google, and beat Tesla. On the 3M headquarters building in Minnesota, it is clearly written “Curiosity is just the beginning (everything starts with curiosity) “. Of course, having curiosity is not enough, there must also be time and money to explore. People always like to use rigid rules to restrain themselves, like to do repetitive things, unwilling to think about problems, we always lack the sense of innovation, can only accept new things but not create new things. The reason why 3M can have super creativity is that the company has a special rule, that is, the 15% rule, which also brings endless innovation to 3M Group. In this company, every week has 15% of the time is their own, in this 15% of the time, you can go to use your brain, play your imagination, satisfy your curiosity, to research and explore what you are interested in, if you have a very good idea, but the funds are not enough, you can also apply to the company for support, you do not have to consider whether your ideas are related to the development of the company, as long as you have a novel idea, and the idea after evaluation has the expectation of development, then the company will continue to spare no effort to support the development of your idea, whether it is success or failure, will not affect your work in this company, you will be rewarded for success, failure you can still return to your original job to continue your previous work. It is the company’s 15% rule, and it is also a brand-new innovation management model. The reason why this company can create countless patents and invent countless novel things is also closely related to this policy. This innovative management model that solves the worries has brought unexpected results. 3M’s post-it notes, the first gauze, etc. are all the results of this model. This has also attracted many Internet companies to follow suit. For example, Google simply upgraded the “15% rule” to the “20% rule”. It is this “unproductive” and “unfocused” approach to innovation that has made 3M a boss across various fields, jokingly known as “creating everything except God”. Audio tapes, video tapes, carbonless carbon paper, dry silver film, and projection systems were all invented by them; the first reflective sign for highways and the brightening film for electronic displays were also invented by them; the boots worn by American astronaut Armstrong in the space capsule during his trip to the moon were made of 3M synthetic rubber; the harder core products are bulletproof helmets and bulletproof baffles, and the latest IHPS combat helmet issued by the US military, which claims to have the strongest protective performance at present, is also a product of 3M company… This is really something only you can’t imagine, and it can’t be done without 3M. Nowadays, our country is paying more and more attention to the development of innovation, paying close attention to the cultivation of talent innovation, setting up many innovation and entrepreneurship competitions in universities, and no longer just relying on rigid grades to determine the development of a student. This policy is beneficial to our country’s future scientific and technological development and innovation. Having said so much about 3M Group, we have a more accurate understanding of this group. We know that it is not only a production of masks, but also that the production of masks is just the tip of the iceberg of this group’s industry. We also understand why this company can develop in all aspects and why there is so much innovation. Enterprises in our country need to learn from this group in the model of innovation and entrepreneurship, because innovation is the source of development and the first driving force for a country’s sustainable development. The picture comes from the Internet. If there is any infringement, please contact to delete it.

  • 20 years after Boeing moved its headquarters from Seattle to Chicago, the headquarters building has become a “ghost town.”

     

    About 20 years ago – just days before the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States crippled the airline industry – Boeing announced that it would move its headquarters from the historic manufacturing center of Seattle to downtown Chicago in the Midlands. The relocation plan is also at the heart of Boeing’s plan to create a new image as a diverse global behemoth. It also isolates Boeing’s top executives from the day-to-day operations of its global business units, which are closer to Wall Street’s Financial Institution Group. Now 20 years later, Boeing’s corporate headquarters is in trouble amid an epidemic that has shaken the industry. Reuters reports: “Boeing’s Chicago headquarters becomes’ghost town. ‘” A new cohort of mostly coastal executives is dealing with industrial and safety certifications for its major divisions, as well as dealing with the 737 MAX and coronavirus crises. Meanwhile, Illinois and Chicago tax breaks for Boeing are set to expire at the end of the year. A symbol of the new Boeing, the vision of the company’s core business above their component parts has clashed with the need to reclaim engineering dominance and repair relationships with customers and federal regulators. Brian West, the newly appointed chief financial officer, is also based mainly on the East Coast, and while the COVID-19 pandemic is a major factor, the upscale and fully functional corporate headquarters in Chicago has become silent, according to people familiar with the matter. “It’s a ghost town,” one of them said. Pictured, in an article published by a Seattle Post reporter on September 3, 2001, “Boeing Quietly Opens Chicago Headquarters,” a modern 36-story office building on the south bank of the Chicago River west of the Loop, a $200 million riverside skyscraper. And now Boeing has begun to let go of real estate, including the Commercial Aircraft Headquarters in Seattle. Several people familiar with Boeing’s situation said cost cuts and a more hands-on corporate culture raised questions about the city’s long-term future and the direction Boeing was taking as it tried to regain its footing. However, Boeing insisted that important business was still taking place in Chicago and rejected any suggestion that it would leave its Midwest base. “Chicago is strategic to Boeing’s US and global operations,” said a spokesperson. “Like other companies, we have adopted a hybrid approach to working with our employees, our customers and other stakeholders during the global epidemic.” Boeing said it and its employees had invested nearly $50 million in recent years to support the Chicago community. Despite the new focus, others warned that leaving the city could spark a local storm. And against a backdrop of industrial and regulatory concerns, leaving the city is far from a priority for Boeing. In 1997, Seattle-based Boeing merged with its St. Louis-based rival, McDonnell Douglas, a decision that angered rank-and-file workers and engineers. So Boeing decided to leave Seattle and move its headquarters to a more neutral location, separate from its existing power center. Some critics said Boeing’s move in Chicago was a symbol of the company’s emphasis on short-term profits and shareholder returns over its long-term engineering ethos. That accusation resurfaced after two consecutive 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019. Picture, Demonstrators hold photos of crash victims during a vigil on September 10, 2019, on the 6-month anniversary of the crash of a Boeing 737 Max airliner in Ethiopia (Washington, USA). This is starting to be a signal that they will make investments in the future, regardless of past loyalties, said Richard Aboulafia, analyst at Teal Group. For some, it’s just a way to show that they won’t make any investments at all in the future. Over the past 20 years, the state of Illinois, Cook County and the city of Chicago have provided Boeing with more than $60 million in taxes and other incentives to encourage them to move their headquarters to Chicago. Now those credits have expired – though Boeing will receive 2021 funding next year. The incentives, which required Boeing to keep 500 full-time employees in its offices, were scrapped at one point in a trade dispute between Boeing and Europe’s Airbus over unfair subsidies. A Chicago spokesperson said Boeing’s report showed it had 513 full-time employees in Chicago in 2020. Boeing also employs thousands of people in Chicago and the Metro East area near St. Louis in southern Illinois, the Illinois spokesperson said. However, a close review of the BGA analysis of the Illinois decision reveals that Boeing has not met the 500-employee mark for at least four years. Pam McDonough, a former director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs, has said on social media that the indirect impact of Boeing employees in the Chicago area over the past 20 years is thought to be $4.30 billion. “These large projects are complex and strategic, but they do have tremendous economic and social benefits.About 20 years ago – just days before the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States crippled the airline industry – Boeing announced that it would move its headquarters from the historic manufacturing center of Seattle to downtown Chicago in the Midlands.

  • O’Hare International Airport: Why 8 runways? Uncover its historical role as a global aviation hub

    O’Hare International Airport is located in Chicago, Illinois, USA. It is one of the busiest airports in the world. Known for its unique structure and huge capacity, O’Hare Airport not only has 8 runways, but also plays a pivotal role in global air transportation. So, why does O’Hare Airport need so many runways? What is its history and development like? This article will take you into this aviation hub and learn the story behind it. Overlook of the Airport (taken in 2023) 1. The Birth and Early History of O’Hare Airport The predecessor of O’Hare Airport was a small airport called “Chicago International Airport”. Originally, this airport was established in 1942 as a military base called “Levi Airport”. With the end of World War II, the aviation industry developed rapidly and the demand for civil aviation gradually increased. The Chicago city government decided to convert it into a civilian airport. In 1955, Chicago International Airport officially changed its name to O’Hare International Airport in honor of Ed O’Hare, a heroic pilot during World War II. Ed O’Hare With the growth of aviation technology and travel demand, O’Hare Airport continued to expand and upgrade. In the 1960s, the airport began to build more terminals and runways to cope with the increasing number of flights. II. Why does O’Hare have 8 runways? O’Hare International Airport currently has 8 runways. This is to meet its huge flight demand and global hub status. Here are a few reasons why O’Hare Airport has multiple runways: Huge traffic volume, ensuring smooth flight take-offs and landings As one of the busiest airports in the world, O’Hare has an extremely high frequency of flight take-offs and landings. According to statistics, O’Hare often has more than 1,000 take-offs and landings per day, and 8 runways can effectively disperse flight traffic and reduce aircraft waiting time, thereby improving the airport’s capacity and efficiency. The need to cope with severe weather Chicago is located in the Midwest of the United States. In winter, it often encounters severe weather such as blizzard and freezing, which poses challenges to flight take-offs and landings. Multiple runways not only help to improve flight scheduling flexibility, but also ensure that some runways remain open in bad weather, reducing the risk of flight delays and cancellations. Efficient runway layout and operation model O’Hare Airport’s runway layout adopts the parallel configuration of multiple runways, allowing aircraft to take off and land in different directions. This layout allows the airport to operate efficiently and implement diversion when needed. At the same time, the airport is also equipped with multiple approach and departure paths to ensure that flights can take off and land smoothly. Meeting the Future Aviation Demand With the continuous growth of global air transportation demand, the aviation industry is expected to usher in more flights and passenger traffic in the future. In order to adapt to this trend, O’Hare Airport has left more space for future development through the construction of multiple runways. In 2020, O’Hare Airport’s 8 runways provide great convenience for it to handle more than 80 million passengers. III. Functions and Roles of O’Hare Airport O’Hare International Airport is not just an ordinary airport, it is also an important hub of the global air transportation network. The following are some of its main functions: The Transit Hub for International Flights in Terminals H and K of Terminals III As one of the largest aviation hubs in the United States, O’Hare Airport undertakes a large number of international flights every day, and it connects major cities around the world. From Chicago, passengers can easily transfer to Europe, Asia, Africa and other regions. O’Hare’s 8 runways and efficient flight scheduling system make it an important position in international shipping. Cargo Center In addition to passenger transportation, O’Hare Airport is also an important cargo center in the world. The airport handles a large volume of international cargo transportation through its advanced logistics system and multiple cargo terminals. Every year, O’Hare handles a large volume of cargo, including high-value goods, emergency supplies, and more. Supporting Regional Economic Development O’Hare Airport is not only an air traffic center, but also an important driving force for the economic development of the Chicago area. The presence of the airport promotes local tourism, business activities, and job opportunities. According to statistics, the operation of O’Hare Airport has created thousands of jobs for Chicago and the surrounding area, and injected great vitality into the local economy. The Frontier of Aviation Technology and Innovation O’Hare Airport not only focuses on the efficiency of flight operations, but also strives to lead the innovation of aviation technology. With the development of automation technology and artificial intelligence, O’Hare continues to innovate in intelligent flight scheduling, passenger services and safety and security, striving to provide faster and safer aviation services. IV. Future Outlook Terminal 5 With the continuous growth of global aviation demand, O’Hare International Airport is facing unprecedented challenges. In order to continue to maintain its position as a global aviation hub, O’Hare plans to further expand its facilities and improve operational efficiency. In the future, O’Hare will introduce more high-tech equipment, strengthen environmental protection measures, optimize flight scheduling, and ensure that the airport can handle the increasing passenger traffic and number of flights. At the same time, the Chicago city government and aviation management agencies are also considering further adding runways and terminals to adapt to the changing aviation market. With annual traffic counting expected to exceed 90 million by 2030, O’Hare will continue to play an important role in global air transportation. Conclusion With its unique layout, multiple runways and state-of-the-art facilities, O’Hare International Airport has become one of the busiest aviation hubs in the world. It not only supports the economic development of the Chicago area, but also provides convenient air services to passengers around the world. As the aviation industry continues to grow, O’Hare will continue to play a key role in providing strong support for the smooth operation of the global air transportation network.

  • The glorious history and modernization of Atlanta Airport

    Atlanta Prosperity Located in Atlanta, you will be deeply attracted by the prosperity of the city. As a world-renowned aviation hub, Atlanta’s airport not only connects the world, but also witnesses the rise and prosperity of the city. Here, you can feel the pulse of the modern city and appreciate the intersection of global business and culture. In every corner of Atlanta, there is a lot of vitality and opportunities waiting for you to explore and discover. The world’s busiest airport The brilliant achievements of the airport appreciate the bustling urban scenery of Atlanta, and we further focus on the brilliant achievements of Atlanta Airport. Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, referred to as Atlanta Airport, is not only the largest and busiest airport in the world, but also hosts many well-known airlines. Both Delta Air Lines and Trans Airways operate from this airport as a hub, connecting routes around the world. In addition, Atlanta Airport is also a sister airport with Shanghai Airport, and is jointly committed to improving hub operations, flight punctuality and high-tech applications. As a 24-hour airport, Atlanta Airport attracts passengers from all over the world with its convenient flight network and efficient operation model. In 2006, Atlanta Airport was the busiest airport in the world with more than 80 million passengers and 970,000 flights. According to a report by Airports Council International, in 2010, Atlanta Airport’s airline customer passenger traffic reached 89.30 million, an increase of 1.5% from 2009, far exceeding the second-largest airport, Beijing 15 million passengers. The history of the airport The birth and development of Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport can be described as a magnificent history. Originating from an abandoned car track, the lease was signed by then-Mayor Walter Sims in 1925, marking the birth of Candler Field, the predecessor of Atlanta Airport. The land was named Candler Field after Coca-Cola tycoon and former Atlanta Mayor Asa Candler in honor of its historical contribution. On September 15, 1926, the first aircraft took off from Jacksonville. After several years of development, Pitcairn Airlines and Delta Airlines began to serve Atlanta. With the opening of Candler Field’s first control tower and the United States government’s declaration of it as an Air Force base, the airport rapidly expanded during World War II, with a record 1,700 takeoffs and landings in a single day, making it the busiest airport in the country. Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Details The Birth and Development of the Airport In 1946, Candler Field was renamed Atlanta City Airport and gradually developed into an important transportation hub. In 1948, it welcomed 1 million passengers, demonstrating its strong passenger capacity. In 1956, Eastern Airlines opened flights to Montreal, Canada, marking the birth of the first international departure flight from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. From a small local airport to a global aviation hub, Atlanta has attracted a large number of domestic passengers and a strong demand for transfers. Airport Expansion and Modernization In January 1977, under the leadership of Mayor Maynard Jackson, the central end point of Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport was rebuilt and expanded. This huge project not only ensured the modernization needs of the airport, but also carried the historical mission of urban development. On September 21, 1980, the new airport opened as scheduled, without exceeding the budget by a penny. Entering the new century, the airport management has proposed a “future-focused” construction plan to improve the airport’s facilities and provide more convenient services for arriving and departing passengers. Airport Facilities and Services Terminals and Transportation Systems Hartsfield-Jackson Airport occupies a vast area and ranks third in the world. As the main base of Delta Air Lines, the airport undertakes major air traffic tasks and its international route network covers the world. There are two main terminals in the airport – the North Terminal and the South Terminal, which are closely connected by huge conjoined buildings. Passengers can easily move between various halls through the advanced transportation system and enjoy a comfortable travel experience. The underground rail transit system “peoplemover” connects various passenger halls, effectively improving the travel efficiency of passengers. At the same time, the system is also connected to urban public transportation, providing passengers and residents with a more efficient and comfortable travel experience.

  • Germany’s airport with the most flights fra frankfurt airport

    Whether it is a small partner living in Europe or not, as long as they come to Europe, most people will inevitably deal with Frankfurt Airport, because this is the largest transfer station in Europe, and many passengers entering Europe have to pass through here. Frankfurt Airport (referred to as FRA) is one of the busiest international airports in the world, the largest airport in Germany, and Germany’s gateway to the world. However, because Frankfurt Airport has been very strict in security and customs in recent years, and even has a tendency to “check Chinese people”, it is a little avoided by everyone, but it is still inevitable to enter Europe from Frankfurt Airport. Today, Nuonuo will give you the most comprehensive guide to Frankfurt Airport again. Friends can actively collect it. If necessary, it is also excellent to look it up. Transportation from Frankfurt city center to and from the airport is very convenient, and the subway is the first choice. Metro S8 and S9 to the airport, every 10 to 15 minutes, can arrive in about 16 minutes, and the cost is 4.9 euros for a one-way ticket. In addition, buses can also arrive, leaving from the central railway station Darmstadt, every 30 minutes, the time needs to be half an hour, and the cost is 8.7 euros. Of course, you can also choose to take a taxi, which is also about 20 euros from the city center to the airport. Terminals Frankfurt Airport currently has two terminals, Terminal 1 (T1) and Terminal 2 (T2), connected by a free Sky Line. There is also T3 under construction. Lufthansa and Star Alliance (including Air China), in Terminal 1. And China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, China Airlines and Cathay Pacific are in Terminal 2. Transfer 1 Non-Schengen to Non-Schengen Example 1: China flies to Frankfurt for a connecting flight to the UK. You don’t need to pick up your luggage, but you have to hold a UK visa first. After disembarking, you go through the transfer channel. If you don’t enter customs in Frankfurt, you don’t need a Schengen visa. But you need to go through security and go to the new boarding gate. Example 2: China flies to Frankfurt for a connecting flight to Serbia. You don’t need to pick up your luggage. Since Serbia is visa-free for China, you don’t need a visa (white book can be used). After disembarking, you go through the same transfer channel. You don’t enter customs in Frankfurt, but you need to go through security before going to the new boarding gate. If you are not a connecting flight, your luggage cannot be directly linked to the final destination, and you want to pick up your luggage and re-check it in Frankfurt, then you need to have a Schengen visa or a transit visa in advance in order to enter and collect your luggage, and then go through the international check-in process again. That is, after you get off the plane, you have to go through customs to enter the country, pick up your luggage; go to the new flight counter to check in, re-check, then take the boarding pass through security, pass through customs and exit, and go to the boarding gate to fly to the final destination. 2 Non-Schengen to Schengen Example 3: China Fly to Frankfurt to transfer to Munich. Whether you are a connecting flight or not, you must hold a Schengen visa to check in in Frankfurt. For a connecting flight, you can not claim your luggage, that is, after getting off the plane, you can go through the transfer channel, go through the security check first, and then go through the customs to get your entry stamp, and then you can go directly to the boarding gate. If it is not a connecting flight, you can go through customs first and then collect your luggage, and then check in and check in for the inland flight, and then go through the security check to the new boarding gate. Example 4: China flying Frankfurt to the Netherlands. Whether you are a connecting flight or not, you must hold a Schengen visa to enter Frankfurt. The Netherlands is also a Schengen country, so flying from Frankfurt to the Netherlands is equivalent to flying inland. It is the same as flying from Frankfurt to Munich. 3 Schengen to non-Schengen Example 5: Berlin to Frankfurt Transfer to China Berlin to Frankfurt is an inland flight. When checking in in Berlin, you only need to go through security. But after arriving in Frankfurt, the transfer to China is equivalent to an international flight. Non-connecting flights are the same as taking international flights directly to China in Frankfurt. If there are items to be refunded in your checked luggage, you can go to the customs to check and stamp the refunded items first, and then go through the check-in and check-in, go through security, pass the customs and stamp the exit stamp, then go to the tax refund window to receive the tax refund, and finally go to the boarding gate. If you have a connecting flight and there is not enough time, you can apply for a tax refund at Berlin Airport first.
