Strong thunderstorms in Beijing caused the cancellation of more than 600 flights at Capital Airport?

According to the latest information from the Civil Aviation North China Meteorological Center, there is currently continuous rainfall at the Capital Airport. It is expected that short-term severe thunderstorms will occur from 20 to 24 hours, which will have a greater impact on the normal flight takeoffs and landings at the Capital Airport.

In addition, there are heavy to heavy rains in many places in Tianjin, central and eastern Hebei, Shandong, and Hubei today. Affected by comprehensive factors at home and outside stations, as of 18:00, Capital Airport plans to carry out 1,157 flights, and has carried out 584 sorties, 601 sorties were cancelled.

In order to ensure the response to special weather, Capital Airport has worked with air traffic control, airlines and relevant support units overnight to prepare for the response, and adjusted the flight plan for the 6th in advance to avoid Passengers had to wait for a long time due to weather conditions.

Currently, the Capital Airport has activated the emergency consultation mechanism of the Transportation Management Committee to coordinate flight releases and do its best. At this stage, all areas of the Capital Airport are operating normally.

Aircraft flights should be operated while ensuring safety. I believe normal people can understand it; at the same time, we hope to properly appease passengers.
