The airport's departure hall was packed on Sunday morning, with almost every seat occupied, the South China Morning Post reported.

Some passengers rested on luggage trolleys or benches, while others monitored flight updates on their mobile phones, hoping services would resume.

The disruption followed Saturday's cancellations of at least 29 departing and 20 arriving flights as the typhoon swept across Hong Kong.
