The Hong Kong Airport Authority has announced that 90 flights are expected to be cancelled while another 130 will be delayed today as a result of typhoon Koinu's disruption in Hong Kong.
The flights that are affected mainly are those scheduled earlier from or bound for mainland China and Japan.
The Airport Authority spokesperson advised that travellers should check the latest flight details online before going to the airport. He said further that the Airport Express line will be suspended in case of a higher storm signal, and people moving to and from the airport should plan their trips ahead of time.
"The Airport Express is now operating normally but bus services are limited," he said.
"If a higher storm signal is issued, the Airport Express service will suspended. Travellers arriving in Hong Kong may then need to take longer to arrange transport to go into the city."
The airport authorities with other airlines are making huge efforts in deploying more manpower to assist passengers at the airport.
Moreover, the airport's shops and restaurants will shift forward their working period to provide the services for the increase in demand.
颱風「小犬」影響持續加大，香港90個航班取消
香港機場管理局宣布，由於颱風「巨犬」對香港造成乾擾，今天預計將取消 90 架航班，另有 130 架航班延誤。
受影響的航班主要是較早出發或飛往中國大陸和日本的航班。
機場管理局發言人建議旅客前往機場前應上網查看最新航班詳情。 他進一步表示，如遇暴雨訊號增強，機場快線將暫停運行，往返機場的人們應提前規劃行程。
「機場快線目前運作正常，但巴士服務有限，」他說。
“如果發出更強的暴風雨信號，機場快線服務將暫停。抵達香港的旅客可能需要更長的時間來安排交通工具進入市區。”
機場當局和其他航空公司正在做出巨大努力，部署更多人力來協助機場的乘客。
此外，機場的商店和餐廳將提前營業時間，為需求增加提供服務。
