Manila, Aug 4, 2006
At least 20 international flights to Hong Kong have been diverted to airports in the Philippines due to bad weather, air transport officials said here Friday.

Twelve flights were diverted to Manila international airport while eight were diverted to Clark airport, a former US airbase north of Manila starting late Thursday, the officials said.

They included Cathay Pacific flights from Singapore, Ankara, Sydney, Melbourne and Penang and two British Airways flights from London.

At least four of the diverted flights have since taken off for Hong Kong after the weather cleared, the officials added.

More than 200 flights out of Hong Kong were delayed or cancelled Thursday due to strong winds brought by Typhoon Prapiroon.
