Authorities have planned to cancel flights in Hainan before Typhoon Matmo hits the southern province, likely disrupting a peak holiday travel period for the resort island.
All flights to and from the provincial capital Haikou’s international airport were expected to be cancelled from 11pm yesterday, the official Xinhua news agency reported, as Matmo could bring strong winds and heavy rain to southern China, including in Guangdong and Yunnan provinces.
