Flight Number
It is a common practice to retire flight numbers following loss of aircraft and Flight 611 no longer exists. Shortly after the accident, China Airlines changed the flight number to 919, which now serves the Taipei-Hong Kong route along with existing flights 903, 641, 605, 909, 913, 915, 617, 679, 923, 927 and 2927.
