金門尚義機場連日濃霧，旅客因「無機可乘」而滯留，23日天氣好轉恢復輸運，國防部出動空軍C-130H運輸機協助疏運，受到民眾鼓掌感謝。
More than 2000 passengers were stranded in Kinmen for three consecutive(5) days due to heavy fog. Ministry of Transportation and Communications not only requested each airline carrier to add extra flights, but also negotiated with Ministry of National Defense to implement the mechanism of military air transportation. The Air Force sent a total of six flights, four flying to Taipei and two flying to Taichung, carrying more than 400 townspeople and Taiwanese businessmen back to Taiwan.
由於一連三天受濃霧影響，造成二千多名旅客被迫滯留，交通部除要求航空公司加開班機，並協調國防部再度啟動軍機疏運機制。空軍軍機前後共出動六架次，其中四架飛台北，二架飛台中，共載運四百多位鄉親、台商返回台灣。

Magistrate Li, Wo-Shi stated that the situation of transportation affected by bad weather should be improved as soon as possible. He hoped that the landing minimum at Shangyi Airport would be upgraded this year as 800 meters like the standard at Taipei International Airport (Son Shan Airport).
對於天候造成交通不便，縣長李沃士表示將會盡速改善，希望今年能讓尚義機場起降標準和台北一樣（能見度八百公尺）
