Accidents and incidents

On 24 August 1999, Flight 873, a McDonnell Douglas MD-90, landed at Hualien Airport and was rolling on Runway 21 when an explosion was heard in the front section of the passenger cabin, followed by smoke and fire. The pilot brought the aircraft to a stop on the runway and fire squads rushed to the scene to extinguish the fire. While the upper part of the fuselage was completely destroyed, 90 passengers plus the crew of six were safely evacuated. 14 passengers were seriously injured, and another 14 suffered minor injuries. Most of the injured passengers suffered burns. There was eventually one death due to fragments produced by the explosion striking one passenger.

On 10 May 2021, Flight 9091, an ATR 72-600, clipped its main landing gear and tail skid on the perimeter wall at Nangan Airport after the pilots initiated a late go-around due to fog during a non-precision approach. The pilots returned to Songshan Airport, where they landed without injury, although the aircraft and runway were damaged. The cause was determined to be the pilot's loss of situational awareness during approach and not following procedure to immediately go around after losing sight of the runway.
