Flights from Guangzhou, Guangdong province, to airports in Hainan province scheduled for Friday have been canceled due to the approaching super typhoon Yagi.

The management of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport announced the cancellation of the flights between Guangzhou and Zhanjiang in western Guangdong on Friday morning.

Yagi is forecast to make landfall between Hainan's Wenchang and Zhanjiang's Leizhou on Friday afternoon, whipping up strong winds and heavy rains along its path, according to the National Meteorological Center.

Due to Yagi, several universities in Guangzhou, Zhanjiang and Guangdong's Zhuhai have adjusted registration dates for new students previously scheduled for the coming weekend.

About 3,000 vehicles and 4,500 drivers and passengers had been stranded in Zhanjiang's Xuwen county by 7 pm on Thursday as they waited to take ferries across the Qiongzhou Strait between Guangdong and Hainan.

The ferry service was suspended at midnight on Wednesday.
