民航局协同港澳防“风”险 29架港澳客机安全高效转降内地

Core Viewpoint - The aviation operations in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao region are facing significant challenges due to the impact of Typhoon "Haikashan" No. 18, prompting the Civil Aviation Administration to activate emergency plans to ensure flight safety and improve recovery efficiency after the typhoon passes [1][2]. Group 1: Emergency Response and Coordination - The Civil Aviation Administration's Operations Monitoring Center initiated an emergency response plan, coordinating with Hong Kong and Macao aviation units to manage the risks posed by the typhoon [1]. - The center simplified the approval process for aircraft repositioning requests, ensuring efficient implementation of the repositioning plans [1][2]. - Real-time communication and coordination were established with air traffic control and flight planning centers to monitor key flights and facilitate emergency relocations [1][2]. Group 2: Timeliness and Efficiency of Operations - The urgency of the repositioning operations was highlighted, with Hong Kong Airlines submitting four repositioning requests on the night of September 22, and Cathay Pacific receiving a notification for repositioning just 12 hours before the planned suspension of flights [2]. - The demand for repositioning surged to 25 aircraft due to a change in the typhoon's path, with the first repositioning flight scheduled to depart at 12:35 PM on September 23, leaving less than six hours for approval [2]. - The Operations Monitoring Center successfully processed all repositioning requests, with Cathay Pacific's 25 aircraft and Hong Kong Airlines' 4 aircraft departing safely on September 23 [2]. Group 3: Future Coordination and Recovery Plans - As the impact of Typhoon "Haikashan" diminishes, the Operations Monitoring Center will continue to monitor residual effects and assist Hong Kong and Macao airlines in developing recovery plans for returning flights [3]. - There is an intention to establish a more robust operational coordination mechanism with Hong Kong and Macao to enhance the ability to respond to special situations in the future [3]. Group 4: Safety Measures for Aircraft - Aircraft, despite their weight, cannot be secured on the ground during high winds, necessitating measures such as tethering to prevent them from being displaced [4]. - The Civil Aviation regulations require that aircraft be secured during severe weather to mitigate risks, and relocating aircraft to unaffected airports is considered a safer alternative [4][5]. - The selected temporary locations for aircraft were chosen based on the absence of typhoon impact and passenger demand, ensuring operational continuity for travelers [5].
