What should I do after the plane is alternate?

1. After the plane is alternate, stay at the alternate airport and wait for the signal from the landing site. If the plane cannot land due to bad weather or other reasons, it needs to alternate to other airports. On the plane, the flight attendant will inform the passengers in time through the on-board broadcast.

2. The plane will choose the airport closest to the original landing airport for alternate landing. The general alternate airport staff will wait at the exit after the passengers get off the plane and arrange for the passengers to wait in a specific area.

3. If the flight is delayed for more than four hours after the alternate flight, the airline or airport shall arrange accommodation. If the flight at the alternate field is cancelled after the plane is alternate, the airline will assist in arranging the passenger's flight.

Extended data

Diversion: during the flight, an aircraft (aircraft) cannot or should not fly to the destination airport in the flight plan or the destination airport is not suitable for landing, but landing at other airports is called alternate landing.

There are many reasons for alternate landing, mainly including air traffic control, poor weather conditions, non-acceptance of scheduled landing airports, poor weather conditions at scheduled landing airports below landing standards, and aircraft failure. In the "Eight Objections" issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China to ensure flight safety, it is clearly stated that "alternate landing" means that when landing conditions are not available for various reasons, the destination airport should land at the alternate airport, and flight safety should not be affected by blind forced landing. Alternate flight is a normal measure to ensure flight safety during aircraft operation.
