Victoria Harbor, Hong Kong

Typhoon "Utor", which struck the day before yesterday in the Philippines, continued its journey towards China. Those who decided not to test the fate of the Hong Kong authorities decided to cancel the majority of flights for today and tomorrow, as well as the transfer of the remaining flights to other dates.

In addition to the flights, ferries connecting the International Airport with the center of Hong Kong were canceled, wind up to 140 kilometers per hour . Disruptions in the work of key Asian air carriers have already affected the overall picture of air travel in the region: only one Cathay Pacific had to cancel 31 flights . Make changes to the timetable also came China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, Philippine Airlines, AirAsia, Ethiopian Airlines, United Airlines and All Nippon Airways . Given the fact that Hong Kong is one of the largest interchange nodes on the entire Asian mainland, thousands of European passengers could not today go to Southeast Asia and Australia .

Judging by the forecasts of the weather forecasters, the typhoon "Utor" will play on the nerves of air carriers a few more days. The nearest "stop" is Chinese Guangzhou, where most of the flights are also canceled tomorrow.
