The plane immediately turned around for safety reasons. Back to Taiwan. Unexpectedly, the Hong Kong Department of Civil Aviation stated that “the Taiwan Air Traffic Control Center canceled the requirements for flights to enter the Hong Kong Flight Information Region.”
In response to this, the Civil Aviation Administration tonight announced the communication log between the Lirong flight and the Hong Kong Flight Information Region District Administration Center. The content clearly shows that the Hong Kong side has clearly stated that it “does not accept Lirong Airlines to enter the Hong Kong Flight Information Region.” After confirming the attitude of the other party many times, our air traffic control staff had to notify the pilot of the Lirong flight. The pilot decided to return to the flight based on safety considerations. It was definitely not our cancellation of the entry request as claimed by the Hong Kong side.
According to the communication records of the same day, during the transfer of the Lirong flight number B7-9051 by the air traffic control of the two parties, the Hong Kong District Administration Center suddenly called our administration center of the district at 9:36 amfor your information for your information we have a danger area west of kapli, actually it is very close to kapli with view of traffic and the safety altitude is flight level two six zero or more(To provide you with information, we have a danger zone very close to the west of the Kapli waypoint. The safe altitude of the Kapli-related aircraft must be 26,000 feet or more).
Since the maximum flight altitude of the Lirong aircraft is 25,000 feet, our air traffic control personnel repeatedly confirmed with the Hong Kong side. The dialogue clearly showed that the Hong Kong side clearly stated “hong kong cannot accept this plane(Hong Kong cannot accept the plane)Can you talk to your army?(Can you tell your army?) “.
The Civil Aviation Administration revealed that our air traffic control immediately asked if there were military exercises. However, the Hong Kong side did not provide specific explanations, nor did it issue a flight notice (NOTAM) in advance. We were forced to return to the flight instead of “active cancellation” as Hong Kong put it. The Civil Aviation Administration urged Hong Kong to clarify the reasons as soon as possible and make it clear to prevent similar incidents from happening again, in hopes of maintaining the safety and order of flights in accordance with international regulations in the future.

The Hong Kong District Administration reported “dangerous activity” in the area below 26,000 feet, and therefore refused to enter the Lirong flight. The Civil Aviation Administration noted that, for security reasons, the Lirong Airlines flight immediately returned to Taiwan. The Civil Aviation Administration also emphasized that since the Hong Kong Flight Information Region has not issued a flight announcement in advance, the Civil Aviation Administration has reminded the other party that it must be issued in accordance with international practices. in the future to avoid affecting flight planning operations.
Since our Air Force will send planes to Dongsha Island for transport and refueling operations from time to time, the relevant military officials said that some civil aviation offices of Lirong Aviation have already provided explanations.
