An immediate landing at the Shanghai-Hongqiao airport selected as an alternative destination was to be achieved. At the same time, an Airbus A320-200 of Juneyao Airlines was on Juneyao Airlines flight 1112 approaching Shanghai-Hongqiao. The commander ignored the instructions from the air traffic controllers to abort his approach immediately and carried out the landing, although priority was to be given to the flight in distress. Although both flights reached their destination safely, the incident represents, according to the investigating CAAC, a significant violation of the applicable national and international aviation law. The incident has significant consequences for the development of the airline Juneyao, because the authority prohibited the airline from further expansion and cut Juneyao Airlines flights by 10% for three months. In addition, due to the nationality of the captain concerned, it was also prohibited to hire personnel from abroad.
