Greater Bay Airlines (GBA) issued a travel alert at 17:40 HKT on 1 June warning that Typhoon Jangmi, currently tracking northwest across the South China Sea, may disrupt services to and from Hong Kong International Airport. While all flights were operating normally at the time of the notice, the carrier cautioned that short-notice rescheduling or cancellations could be required on 2 and 3 June depending on wind speed and runway conditions. GBA operates more than 40 daily departures from Hong Kong to key Asian business hubs including Tokyo, Osaka, Bangkok and Taipei. The airline’s advisory asks passengers to monitor the live flight-status page and to ensure their contact details are up to date in booking records so that SMS or email alerts can reach them promptly. Customers holding tickets for affected flights will be eligible for fee-waived rebooking within 14 days of original travel if schedule changes exceed two hours. The warning comes at the start of Hong Kong’s annual typhoon season, when tropical storms frequently trigger airport-wide flow-control measures. Corporate travel managers are therefore reminded to build contingency time into itineraries and to check that personnel have flexible hotel or meeting arrangements, especially in Japan and Thailand where tight connection windows are common. Hong Kong’s Airport Authority says it will activate “Tier 1” typhoon preparedness once the Hong Kong Observatory issues the No. 8 signal, a move that typically forces airlines to slow boarding and off-loading processes even if runways remain open. Travellers planning same-day visa-on-arrival applications in destinations such as Thailand should verify local immigration counter hours in case of overnight delays in Hong Kong.
