Multiple Airlines Ground Flights Amid Typhoon Fung-wong's Landfall

Multiple airlines have cancelled flights in and out of Taiwan as Tropical Storm Fung-wong approaches the island. The storm has already caused widespread flooding and heavy rain in southern Taiwan, with over 8,000 people evacuated. The capital Taipei appears to be escaping the storm’s pathway. Airlines such as Eva Air, China Airlines, and Thai Airways have pre-warned passengers of potential disruptions to their travel arrangements. The weakening remnant of Tropical Storm Fung-wong is expected to cross southern Taiwan, with some parts of the island experiencing heavy rain. The Met Office Storms Twitter account reported that the storm has left at least 27 people dead in the Philippines. The situation is being closely monitored by local authorities and airlines.
