       An Australian tourist was injured while skiing in Northeast China and was urgently evacuated via an SOS chartered flight to Hong Kong for medical treatment. At 12:30 AM on the 14th, the plane made a refueling stop at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport. Immigration officers boarded the aircraft and completed exit procedures for all six passengers in just one hour.
       The Australian, in his fifties, had fractured several ribs in a skiing accident in the Northeast two days earlier, with bone fragments puncturing his internal organs, requiring immediate overseas medical care. His family contacted an air medical rescue company in Beijing, and relevant authorities quickly arranged an emergency air medical evacuation route. On the evening before, the chartered flight departed from Changchun Airport, making its first stop in Tianjin before flying through Wuhan en route directly to Hong Kong. Due to time constraints, the emergency medical team decided to handle exit formalities during the refueling stop in Wuhan. Upon receiving the mission, Wuhan Border Inspection Station assembled four experienced officers who were fully prepared. After the plane landed in the middle of the night, they swiftly boarded and efficiently processed exit procedures for all six passengers.
       At 1:45 AM on the 14th, the plane, after refueling in Wuhan, flew on to Hong Kong.
