Was at HKG yesterday. Huge delays from Beijing on Dec 20 (some also from PVG). from 2 to 5 hours and some cancellations. The airport had a sign indicating Chinese ATC controls as the cause.

Was at PVG on 21 Dec
Basically it was very foggy that morning and many flights were delayed to PVG, resulting in delayed turnaround
You can see nearly no delay for flights with planes stayed overnight in PVG, but nearly all turnaround flights were delayed

Thank you for your responses!

Thank you!

Smog is becoming a great health issue that some cities have PM2.5 rating passing 1,000 and actually broke the meter. I have already handed in a list of cities in China to my company that I won't go into.

These few days the heavy smog (air pollution) is dragging the whole Eastern/Central/Northern China.

Yesterday & Today, so far, we have blue skies in Beijing after literally quite a breathtaking previous 5 days. Unfortunately it's not forecast to last last long.
There was quite a peak in the pollution on Wednesday and according to friends travelling back to the UK from PEK, were one of the lasts flights to get out before there was a significant drop in aircraft movement at the the airport.
Here's hoping for some strong winds to disperse the smog a bit more.
