Today, 23rd September, is super sunny, and nice. So any flight in and out today should be fine (might require bit of flying around closer to the Philippines). Tomorrow, 24rd Sept, different story!
thanks for the information... and tbh I am shocked at 1 thing... I am proud Qantas is doing this... and the reason I am shock is this below from Cathay Pacific... HK is their home base, but they did not announce the airport operation is impacted... in fact QF is the FIRST to do it!
Qantas are making the assumption whilst CX await instructions from Beijing. Not really surprising, especially as QF have issues servicing HKG in a timely manner when there isn’t a super typhoon.
Sadly Beijing is CX master - but tbh I am glad QF is announcing HKIA closure earlier than others!!
Yes it is. I would have appealed anyone in Hong Kong to try fly out of the city today
Qantas has already cancelled all departures to HKG on 23 & 24 September, according to flight updates.
What I was trying to say is that in the original Qantas post - Qantas is saying HK airport operations for the airport itself is closed for 36 hours, but CX as home base is so slow!!
Qantas assumes that HKIA is closed for 36 hours but as of now (1543 HKT), HKIA has NOT officially made any such announcement to public. All announcements are still “may close” or “is considering”
Qantas have now changed their page to say flights will be impacted between those times, rather than the airport being closed. I think they may have jumped the gun a bit initially. Cathay have now started cancelling flights.
