Emirates, Etihad flights impacted by typhoon in China

As the financial hub of Shanghai mops up the mess and chaos created by Typhoon Bebinca, airline carriers Emirates and Etihad have issued travel updates as flights have been impacted by the typhoon.

Emirates notified passengers of delayed flights and said that affected passengers would be rebooked, and would then receive an updated itinerary. In a travel update, Etihad Airways stated that there will be disruption on the Abu Dhabi-Shanghai route. One flight from Abu Dhabi to Shanghai was reportedly delayed by more than 9 hours due to the typhoon.

Shanghai was lashed by the worst storm in 75 years, says Chinese state media, bringing the otherwise-bustling financial hub of Shanghai to a standstill on Monday.
