Hi everyone, I have been looking on heathrow's departure page and have just noticed that the VS 200 to Sydney has been cancelled. Does anyone have any ideas why ?| ? It is so unusual for the 200 to be cancelled. Many thanks

There is a Tropical Cyclone heading towards Hong Kong so I think VS200 and VS201 have been cancelled.

VS tweeted out yesterday that it would be cancelled due to Typhoon Usagi, the crew onboard friday nights flight from HKG-LHR were talking about it while I ws at the bar and were already suggesting that would be the case. One of the crew was even supposed to be flying back out to HKG as a pax last night on her way to NZ.

Yup - I'm in HKG right now.

All flights Ex-HKG scheduled after 6 today have been cancelled.

Flights for "local" carriers before 6 are operating as normal.

Inbound International flights have been "advised against" if they were due to land any time after this morning.

The storm is slowly dying down (it was a "Super Typhoon" yesterday, downgraded to a "Severe Typhoon" today (250km/hr down to 175km/hr) but the place is ready to get battered by the elements and its approach towards us is gaining speed...

The airport floor/hotel seems to be VERY busy right now...
