Wen Junjian. January 30thA spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council confirmed that the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has made adjustments to the M503 route passing through the Taiwan Strait - announcing the cancellation of the M503 route from north to south flight offset and the activation of the M503 route, W122 and W123 connecting routes from west to east.
Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council).
Regarding the relevant adjustments, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council also explained and pointed outThe M503 route is of positive significance to people's livelihood activities, and emphasizes that the adjustment of the route will help relieve pressure and meet demand, and is also of positive significance for the improvement of cross-strait flight operations, which is a positive project for the benefit of compatriots on both sides of the strait. The Shanghai flight area covers the scope of routes, and the establishment and use of routes is also the normal civil aviation management work of the mainland.
M503 route).
The M503 route is a civil aviation route approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), with three connecting lines connecting with the route, from north to south, namely W121, W122, and W123. The air route was opened in 2015, but the Taiwan authorities have played all kinds of tricks and hyped up the so-called "military security issue". Out of goodwill, the mainland has also made some adjustments, starting with a north-to-south route, and in 2018 a northbound route was added, and the connecting line was also opened.
M503 route).
In fact, the M503 route is mainly located in the west of the Taiwan Strait, and it is also far from the so-called "middle line of the strait" advertised on the island, but the island hypes that the M503 route is too close to the so-called "middle line", and even "the nearest is only 60 nautical miles" from Taipei.
This time, the M503 route was adjusted, and the connecting line from west to east also began to operate, and the island was bound to be "frog sound" again.
In fact, the island's "worries" are nothing more than a few things, one is that the M503 route is "too close", in the words of some people on the island, that is, the Continental Army aircraft only needs to turn a corner, and it can land at Songshan Airport within a few minutes, which "affects the response time". Second, the "Taiwan military" is worried that the PLA military will disguise itself as a civil airliner or "hide under a civilian aircraft," so that it will not be able to "distinguish" in time. The third is that Taiwan Island has the so-called W6 route to Kinmen, and W2 and W8 routes to Matsu, and these just have to "cross" with the M503 route, and the connection line of the M503 route is also close to "parallel" with W6 and W8.
In order to retaliate against the M503 route, the authorities have also made a lot of small moves, and even deliberately retaliated by refusing to approve the use of the M503 route for the Spring Festival overtime, which has also seriously damaged the interests of Taiwan compatriots who are anxious to go home for the New Year.
In fact, M503 belongs to civil aviation routes, and the hype of the authorities on the island is completely adding to the drama. PLA military planes regularly patrol the Taiwan Strait, and warships have also carried out regular patrols in Taiwan. If you really want to do it, you don't have to rely on a civil aviation route.
The so-called "Hengshan Command Post" on the island had a paralysis accident).
The loopholes in the island's so-called "air defense" are more due to its own origin, and the so-called "Hengshan command post" on the island has been exposed to an accident involving an outsourced manufacturer, so that its function has been lost, and it has been unable to grasp the "air situation" for a long time. In that case, does the PLA military aircraft still need to rely on civil aviation routes? During the period when the "Hengshan Command Post" was pulling its hips, the PLA military planes could go back and forth several times.
Therefore, the other side of the strait should not be made a noise because of a civilian route, as if it had never seen the world. The two sides of the strait were reunified earlier, and the M503 route could even be used together.
