Shanghai’s aviation sector faced significant disruptions on Monday as Typhoon Dolphin moved northward after making landfall in eastern China on Sunday evening. According to official notices from the Shanghai government, the storm’s impact resulted in the cancellation of approximately 40 percent of all scheduled flights across the city's two primary hubs. Specifically, Pudong International Airport reported 642 flight cancellations, while Hongqiao International Airport recorded 301 cancellations.

Authorities have advised passengers to monitor airline communications closely for real-time updates regarding their travel status. While air travel remains largely stalled, there are early signs of recovery in the city's ground transportation network. Some rail services, including routes connecting Shanghai to Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, began to resume operations on Monday morning. The storm, characterized by heavy rainfall, continues to track north, keeping local transit authorities on high alert as they manage the aftermath of the landfall.
