🌊 An update for those in Kennedy Town: don't panic!

Meanwhile, HK's economy isn't looking too good... 📉👀

Good morning.

I got to visit the airport for the first time in almost three years yesterday – and I can confirm it’s all but a ghost town over there (just look at how many flights were departing…😮):

Safe to say there won’t be any delays anytime soon… 🥴
