All flights out of Hong Kong were canceled on Monday in an unprecedented disruption after thousands of anti-government protesters occupied the airport terminal building
in an unprecedented disruption after thousands of anti-government protesters occupied the airport terminal building.The Airport Authority blamed the cancellations from 4pm local time onwards on the protests which had “seriously disrupted” operations, with masses of demonstrators preventing passengers from checking in or clearing airport security.
Roads leading to the airport were jammed with traffic, as busloads of protesters made their way there, many getting off their vehicles and continuing on foot because of the gridlock. Rail operator MTR Corporation announced that it had suspended in-town check-in services at Hong Kong Station and Kowloon Station for the Airport Express until further notice.
Among 40 people who ended up in hospital was a woman reportedly hit with a beanbag round in Tsim Sha Tsui. A doctor familiar with her case said she could lose her right eye.
