Chinese authorities will cancel flights and ferries in Hainan on Saturday night before Typhoon Matmo hits the southern province, likely disrupting a peak holiday travel period for the resort island, APA reports, citing Reuters.
All flights to and from the provincial capital Haikou's international airport are expected to be cancelled from 11 p.m. (1500 GMT), the official Xinhua news agency reported, as Matmo could bring strong winds and heavy rain to southern China, including Guangdong and Yunnan provinces.
The Maritime Safety Bureau in Sanya, Hainan's resort city, also said all tourist ships and ferries would be prohibited in its jurisdiction from 6 p.m. (1000 GMT).
