HK Express cancels 6 Hong Kong-Okinawa flights as Typhoon Jangmi nears Japan
Airline says special ticket arrangements are in place for affected passengers
Budget carrier HK Express has cancelled six flights that were scheduled to operate between Hong Kong and Okinawa on Monday and Tuesday as Typhoon Jangmi approaches Japan’s southernmost islands.
The airline said in an updated announcement on Saturday afternoon that special ticket arrangements for typhoon-affected flights were in place.
“We have notified all affected passengers of the flight changes and are providing the necessary help to enable them to make alternative travel arrangements in advance,” the airline said.
Flights UO844, UO845, UO824 and UO825 that were scheduled for Monday were cancelled.
Tuesday’s flights UO842 and UO843 were also axed.
The airline added that because of unstable weather, passengers travelling between Hong Kong and Okinawa from Monday to Wednesday should monitor their emails and check the flight status page to stay informed of any potential changes to their itineraries.
