Presumably because most of them have to pass through the two airways that funnel aircraft from HK onwards to Siberia/Europe. My dad was heavily delayed to PEK on the very day when some PEK-bound flights from SIN/CGK etc were actually 'forced' to land in HKG and wait until they were happy to let flights through again.
