Hong Kong's flagship carrier Cathay Pacific expects at least 500 flights will be cancelled, while Hong Kong Airlines will axe all flights between 6 p.m. on Tuesday and 6 a.m. on Thursday.
As Ragasa edges ever closer to the city, a number of travellers took the pre-emptive step of rescheduling their flights in case of any cancellations.
This woman said she was supposed to fly on the 23rd of September, but bought a new ticket just to make sure she can board her plane,
while this Shenzhen tourist said he was originally going to fly from Shenzhen to Taipei yesterday, but had to purchase another ticket to depart from Hong Kong instead owing to poor weather conditions.
The Airport Authority announced the airport will remain operational over the course of the super typhoon's presence in the city, but expected Ragasa will severely impact inbound and outbound flights between 6 p.m. tomorrow and Wednesday.
Affected airlines include Cathay Pacific, which predicted at least 500 of its flights will be cancelled prior to Thursday.
Hong Kong Airlines is set to cancel all flights travelling between 6 p.m. on Tuesday and 6 a.m. on Thursday.
HK Express noted four of its flights will take off early on Tuesday while cancelling more than a hundred others.
Several Greater Bay Airlines' flights will either be cancelled or delayed, while at least 29 China Airlines' flights travelling between Hong Kong, Taipei and Kaohsiung will be cancelled.
The Airport Authority reminded travellers to check their flight status prior to arriving at the airport, adding that most restaurants at Terminal One will remain open to the public.
