3. Why did the website cancel the flight
information scrolling text marquee service?
Ans: Due to the special geological
environment of Kinmen Shang Yi Airport, the
weather changes a lot and can result in the
flights not being able take off or land
normally. The Airport invented the scrolling
text marquee flight real-time
information service in 2004. It announces
airport visibility and flight information
for passengers to grasp the latest
information and arrange their schedule.
The measure was appreciated by people since
its implementation; however,
there were also a lot of passenger
complaints. The reasons being that most
people have different ideas regarding the
factors that affect flight operation.
Therefore, without any other choices, the
Airport amended the scrolling text
marquee real-time information contents to
the link of aeronautical meteorological
service page on April 10, 2008 to
provide people with the latest and more
accurate visibility data. According to the
amendment of AIP Taipei FIR on
April 10, 2008, the pilots flying out of
the international or domestic airports shall
follow the airport lowest flight level
established by the airlines in accordance
with Article 26 and 185 of the Aircraft
Flight Operation Regulations. In
addition, based on the manger and
operator responsibility division principle
and the abovementioned flight operation
influence factors, the Airport is not
authorized to decide whether the flight can
take off or land, therefore, the Airport
can only provide the scrolling text
marquee information (link to the
aeronautical meteorological service page and
please contact various airlines for the
flight dynamic information), and no longer
provides the aircraft flight operation
information.

the relevant facilities are not being
considered to be installed.

5. Why are there no service personnel in the
shops and information center when the last
flight is delayed?

information center are from 7:00 AM to 7:00
PM, in addition to the service personnel

Chinese New Year or the Airport under the
condition of the aircraft operation
having a lower level than the standard,
the Airport information will not extend the
service hours for other individual
exceptions, such as delayed flights or
additional flights scheduled by airline
companies due to the airlines already
having personnel who will be in charge of

the service personnel’s

selected?
Ans: The Airport once planned to divide the
TV programs into news, sports,
entertainment, and movies; however, due to
the
channel sounds being complicated and
interfering with each other, passengers were
complaining. Therefore, the
project was stopped. Currently, the
Airport adjusts the channels depending on
domestic and international major events,
but in regular times, it still mainly

9. Why are the TV channels clearly biased?
Ans: To expand the service scope, the
Airport purchased large screen LCD TVs
several times to increase the viewing
quality
and satisfy the passengers’ demands. The
Airport is an administrative agency, and the

serve the passengers, and allow them to
see the domestic and international news
while waiting in the airport, however,
according to public broadcasting
regulation, it can only play ETTV news, if
it is interpreted into being political, and
it
will not be fair. The Airport seriously
states that there is no unfair political
bias.
