Hong Kong - likelihood of delays

[stevenaive]

Posting on Sept 18 2019 - I am flying to the UK on October 10 and can take Air China via Peking or Cathay via Hong Kong.

The latter is preferable IF there is no chance of delays or cancellations; I have a family event I have timed perfectly assuming no delays.

SO, what is the current situation regarding flights in and out? I'm struggling to find any assessments online other than from early August, and of course things have moved fast since then.

Prompt replies very much appreciated!

If youhave a family event you absolutely must attend, fly a day earlier. We don't know what's going to happen in Hong Kong. And PEK could equally have air traffic delays, closed airspace due to military operations, or aircraft going tech.

If you must fly on the 10th, probably PEK - much as it grates me to say it - is probably your least worst option at the moment.
