Shanghai has cancelled around 1,300 flights as Typhoon Dolphin moves across China’s eastern coast, disrupting air travel and prompting authorities to strengthen emergency preparations.
The storm has brought strong winds and heavy rainfall to coastal areas, raising concerns about flooding, transportation disruptions, and potential damage to infrastructure. Airlines and airports in Shanghai have been forced to adjust schedules as officials prioritize passenger safety.
Authorities have advised residents and travelers to monitor weather updates and check flight information before heading to airports. Additional cancellations and delays remain possible as the typhoon continues to affect the region.
The disruption highlights the vulnerability of major transportation hubs to extreme weather events. Shanghai, one of China’s busiest aviation and economic centers, handles thousands of domestic and international flights, meaning prolonged storms can have significant effects on travel and business activity.
Emergency agencies across affected areas have also been placed on alert, with preparations underway to respond to flooding, power disruptions, and other potential consequences of the storm.
Meteorological authorities are continuing to track Typhoon Dolphin and assess its projected path as the system moves through the region.
Travelers have been urged to remain cautious, follow official instructions, and contact their airlines for the latest information on cancellations and rescheduled flights.
