A Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight from Singapore to Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan was diverted to Taipei, Taiwan in the early hours of Oct. 28.

According to SIA's website, the plane landed at Taoyuan International Airport at about 4am, Taipei time.

There is no time difference between Taipei and Singapore.

SQ636 was originally scheduled to land in Tokyo at 6:20am (Japan time)

A Mothership reader on the flight confirmed they arrived in Taipei around 4am.



New flights​



Passengers were initially informed that a new SIA flight would depart at 2:50pm, the reader said.

However, this was later postponed to 8:30pm, nearly 18 hours after the original scheduled landing time.

Frustrated with the delays, the reader requested an earlier flight and was rebooked on a Cathay Pacific flight departing at 12:50pm.

"There was certainly no clear triage system on ground. It was a case of whoever shouted [first] or went front of line [that] got priority," he said.

At around 11am, the reader observed a queue forming to arrange hotel accommodations for stranded passengers who are likely to be taking the 8:30pm SIA flight.

Staff were calling out passengers by seat number and zones, he said.
