More than 100 flights cancelled in Hong Kong: airport
HONG KONG, Aug 5, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – More than 100 flights were cancelled in
Hong Kong on Monday morning with airport authorities warning passengers of
potential disruption, as pro-democracy protesters kick off a city-wide
strike.
At least 105 flights were listed as cancelled on the airport’s departure
page on Monday morning.
When contacted, an airport spokesman did not give any reason for the
cancellations but said passengers should check to see if their flight was
departing.
“The Airport Authority advises passengers to check with their airlines for
the latest flight information, and to proceed to the airport only when their
seats and flight time have been confirmed,” the airport said in a statement.
