Another 183 fights which were scheduled to take off or land in Hong Kong today were cancelled, representing a cancellation rate of 38%.

 

The Airport Authority believes the atypical pneumonia outbreak and the travel warning issued by the World Health Organisation has caused the drop in Hong Kong's air traffic this month.

 

As at today, about 37% of flights scheduled for April had been cancelled.
