Hong Kong International Airport is preparing to suspend all passenger flights for 36 hours as Super Typhoon Ragasa approaches the city, Bloomberg News reported on Monday. Airport and aviation officials plan to halt services from as early as 6 pm local time on Tuesday until 6 am on Thursday, the report said.
If confirmed, this would mark one of the longest shutdowns in the airport’s recent history.
