Was on this flight yesterday afternoon and at around 2130 pm (ETA 2300pm) the pilot announced that we were diverting to HKG due to Beijing aircongestion and not enough fule to go PEK. Apparently we circled already over an hour near Wuhan. Landed 2240 at HKG at a remote stand. Refueled and departed 0005am and landed 0300am in PEK. Well informed during the whole time.
Beijing had a few thunderstorms in the evening I was told, but that wouldn't cause the diversion????
