What: China Airlines Airbus A330-300 en route from Taipei to Hong Kong
Where: Taipei
When: Aug 19th 201
Who: 288 passengers
Why: As the China Airlines Airbus was accelerating for takeoff, a private jet was also taxiing on to the same runway after landing. ATC caught the runway incursion and prevented an inevitable collision, and held the China Airlines Airbus flight, delaying the takeoff by an hour.

The pilots of the South Africa registered aircraft reported they had been instructed to taxi taxiway NC to the end. At a crossing, they requested direction and were told to turn right onto taxiway NC. They made an error based on unclear signage turning back on to the runway instead of to the taxiway.

Just another everyday incursion.

Ok, someone needs to commend Taipei ATC on a pretty stupendous catch. From this side of the screen, it looks like this was a practically inevitable disaster.

And do I have to say that someone needs to fix the signs? Something needs to be amended there so that even pilots unfamiliar with the airport can see which is the on ramp and which is the off ramp.

I’m just saying.

Good job, ATC.

What: China Airlines Boeing 747-400 en route from Taipei Taiwan to Shanghai
Where: Hangzhou
When: May 1 2010

Why: While en route, the passenger told someone he had explosives in his luggage. Consequently, the flight diverted to Hangzhou where it made a safe landing–without blowing up. The passenger denied there were explosives (it was a joke.) He was taken into custody, and the flight continued to Shanghai without him, arriving nearly 6 hours late.
