约140次航班昨因雷阵雨取消   2015-07-24

 

SOME 140 flights were canceled and about 200 delayed at Shanghai’s Pudong and Hongqiao international airports yesterday due to torrential rain and thunderstorms.

The Air Traffic Management Bureau issued a massive flight delay yellow alert, the lowest of its three-tier alert system, around noon.

It said flying capacity would be reduced by 30 percent at the two airports between noon and 8pm due to the weather.
