China snow storms cancel 3,250 flights
A Reuters report says that China’s worst snow storms in decades forced the cancellation of more than 3,250 flights over six days, the official Xinhua news agency said on Thursday.
The weather also delayed 5,550 flights and caused 380 planes to be diverted, Xinhua quoted the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China as saying.
However, the administration said airlines still carried 3.17 million passengers from China’s 52 major airports between January 23 and 29, up 11.8 per cent from a year earlier, partly by flying larger planes, Xinhua reported.
Authorities said all the country’s main airports were open on Thursday after closures earlier in the week, but the national weather forecaster said snow and sleet would continue to hit parts of central, eastern and southern China.
