Flights resumed at Hong Kong airport on Tuesday morning after large-scale anti-government protests forced the closure of the hub the previous day amid calls from Canada and Australia for a de-escalation of tensions.
Hong Kong International Airport said it would “implement flight rescheduling” following the disruption on Monday after demonstrators flooded the Asian financial hub’s airport to protest alleged police use of force against protesters over the weekend.
Flights had arrived from Bahrain, Boston and Sydney before 6am Hong Kong time, according to the airport’s website. However, Hong Kong airline Cathay Pacific’s website showed around 80 cancellations for flights to destinations in Asia for Tuesday and warned passengers to check before travelling to the airport.
