As Chinese military planes and ships continue to harass Taiwan, several Chinese civil aviation aircraft were witnessed flying over Kinmen and Matsu on June 17, 2024, raising suspicions of being deliberate. The Civil Aviation Administration explained that due to frontal influence, the Civil Aviation Administration of China notified in the afternoon that there might be aircraft flying around Kinmen and Matsu, but actual observations confirmed that their altitude did not enter Taiwan's terminal control areas. Military enthusiasts received reports disclosing that several Chinese airlines' civil aviation aircraft, such as Xiamen Airlines, Air Macau, China Eastern Airlines, and Capital Airlines, flew over Kinmen and Matsu abnormally, suggesting that the situation appeared intentional; however, confirmation awaits explanations from the Ministry of National Defense and the Civil Aviation Administration. The Civil Aviation Administration further stated that due to adverse weather conditions resulting from the front, Chinese aircraft control units contacted Taiwan's control units to notify about possible aircraft flying around Matsu and Kinmen, and Taiwan reiterated to 'not enter Matsu and Kinmen terminal control areas' to ensure flight safety. Observations showed that the aircraft's altitude did not enter Taiwan's terminal control areas, posing no threat to Taiwan's civil aviation flights, and relevant information has been passed on to the military units.
