4. Related requirements and instructions.
(1) After the airline chooses the operating measures to control the load factor, if the same inbound flight triggers the fuse condition again, the fast fuse will be implemented, that is: if the number of confirmed passengers reaches 5 cases, the flight operation will be suspended for 2 weeks every other week; if it reaches 10 cases, The flight was immediately suspended for 4 weeks that week.
