Air travel across southern China is expected to face widespread disruption as Typhoon Noul approaches the region. Aviation data provider VariFlight forecasts that 36 airports could be affected between July 25 and 28. The first airports likely to be affected from Friday include Guangzhou Baiyun, Shenzhen Bao'an, Hong Kong International, Zhuhai Jinwan, Jieyang Chaoshan and Xiamen Gaoqi.
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport has activated its severe weather contingency plan ahead of the storm. Its operations control center is coordinating around the clock with air traffic control to monitor weather developments and issue timely alerts to airport stakeholders. This coordination allows operational adjustments to be made as weather conditions evolve.
Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport said the storm's track remains uncertain. It advised passengers traveling during the affected period to closely monitor weather updates and check the latest flight information before heading to the airport. The airport added that it will work closely with airlines and air traffic control authorities to continuously assess weather conditions and adjust flight schedules when necessary. Passengers are also encouraged to contact their airlines directly to confirm the status of their flights.
Both airports urged passengers to check the latest flight updates before departure and consult their airlines regarding delays, cancellations or ticket changes as the typhoon approaches.
