Flights Canceled As Typhoon Approaches Fujian


FLIGHTS between Shanghai, Taiwan and Fujian Province were disrupted by Typhoon Fanapi yesterday.

At least 18 flights were canceled by China Eastern Airlines and China Airlines. The airlines said more flights would be added today for the delayed passengers.

Flights from Shanghai to Fuzhou, capital of Fujian Province, were also canceled last night with Fanapi approaching.

Shanghai Meteorological Bureau said Fanapi would have limited effect on the city, although it was likely to be the strongest typhoon to land in China this year.

However, Shanghai residents may not be able to enjoy the full moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival on Wednesday due to bad weather caused by outer cyclones of Fanapi and a strong cold front from the north. Wednesday is forecast to be showery with thick clouds obscuring the full moon, the bureau said.

But the showers should only last for one day and the sky should be clear on Thursday, the bureau said.
