Typhoon Bebinca made landfall in Shanghai on Monday morning as a Category 1 storm, the most powerful tropical cyclone to directly hit the Chinese financial hub in more than seven decades.
All flights in and out of the city’s two airports were cancelled, according to the airport operator. The authority said in a statement that the capacity of Shanghai Pudong Airport and Hongqiao Airport would decrease on September 16, and more than 40 per cent of inbound and outbound flights would be reduced or cancelled.
918 inbound and outbound flights were cancelled at the two airports, including 590 at Pudong Airport and 328 at Hongqiao Airport. Passengers are requested to check the latest flight information with their airlines on time and make reasonable travel arrangements.
