Getting typescript TS1135: Argument expression expected. with routing-controllers @Req

Question

I am using NodeJS Express routing-controllers with TypeScript, the following code doesn't compile when I added the @Req()/@Res() decorators, if I remove them it compiles fine.

@Service()
@JsonController()
export default class FlightsController {

    constructor(
        @Inject('flightsService') private flightsService : FlightsService)
    {}

    @Get('/flights')
    getFlights = async (@Req() req: Request, @Res() res: Response) => {
        Logger.debug(`Entering getFlights...`);

        try {
            const flightsList = await this.flightsService.getFlights();
            res.send(flightsList);
        } catch (error) {
            res.status(500).send(error);
        }
    }
}

How can I fix this issue...

this is my tsconfig.json
