The Hong Kong Airport Authority has been urged to review its contingency procedures after hundreds of passengers’ travel plans were thrown into turmoil on Monday amid an eight-hour closure of a runway triggered by a cargo plane bursting a tyre during an emergency landing.
Passengers said their itineraries were severely affected, with some missing their onwards connections. “It is not yet the peak holiday season and passenger traffic has not returned to pre-Covid level either. Otherwise, we could be in big trouble. The authority should not take it too lightly.” “And also for safety reasons, foreign object detection is necessary, as the airport received an FOD report on the south runway. Handling and removing FOD is crucial to aviation safety or else it could lead to severe consequences.”
He added that the practice of sending flight delay notifications via text message was well-developed on the mainland.
