Several Taiwan Tigerair flights to and from Kaohsiung were delayed by several hours after aircraft maintenance problems disrupted the airline’s schedule.
Affected services included IT288 and IT289 between Kaohsiung and Okinawa, IT207 from Nagoya to Taoyuan, and IT270 and IT271 between Kaohsiung and Fukuoka. One Fukuoka-to-Kaohsiung flight could not take off until the next day because of the curfew.
One passenger said a flight scheduled to leave Kaohsiung for Okinawa at about 10 a.m. eventually departed shortly before 3 p.m. Taiwan Tigerair said it immediately arranged for a backup aircraft to operate subsequent flights, but the move still caused delays to some departures from Kaohsiung. The airline apologized and thanked passengers for their understanding.
