PUBLIC URGED TO HELP EASE AIRPORT TRAFFIC ****
PUBLIC COOPERATION IS BEING SOUGHT TO HELP EASE PASSENGER TRAFFIC CONGESTION AT THE AIRPORT DURING THE LUNAR NEW YEAR HOLIDAY RUSH.
TO HELP MAKE MOVEMENT EASIER, A SPECIAL CHECK-IN AREA HAS BEEN PROVIDED AT THE AIRPORT FOR GUANGZHOU-BOUND TRAVELLERS.
THE AREA IS SITUATED AT THE WESTERN END OF THE DEPARTURES HALL OF THE PASSENGER TERMINAL BUILDING, AND WILL BE OPERATING FROM TODAY (MONDAY) UNTIL SATURDAY (FEBRUARY 23).
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE CIVIL AVIATION DEPARTMENT SAID THE ARRANGEMENT WOULD HELP REDUCE +UNNECESSARY CROSS-FLOW OF PEOPLE AND BAGGAGE MOVEMENT IN THE DEPARTURES HALL+,
DEPARTING PASSENGER TRAFFIC WAS EXPECTED TO INCREASE GREATLY OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS AND THEN EASE OFF ON LUNAR NEW YEAR'S DAY.
ARRIVING PASSENGER TRAFFIC WAS EXPECTED TO BUILD UP ON THE THIRD OR FOURTH DAY OF THE NEW YEAR.
THE SPOKESMAN URGED TRAVELLERS TO ARRIVE AND CHECK-IN EARLY AT THE AIRPORT.
THEY SHOULD ALSO TRAVEL BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM SEEING THEM OFF AT THE AIRPORT, HE SAID.
