yesterday, scheduled flights from Shanghai to London are still operating
normally, today's Oriental Morning Post reported.
According to China Eastern
Airlines, as of 23:30 yesterday, London airports are open. China Eastern

About 70 percent of the seats are usually
occupied between Shanghai and London, according to the China Eastern
Airlines.
