Hong Kong airport faces more protest turbulence



HONG KONG: Hong Kong braced for multiple anti-government demonstrations on Friday.

“Go to the airport by different means, including MTR, airport bus, taxi, bike and private car to increase pressure on airport transport,” protest organizers wrote online ahead of a protest this weekend.

The airport, built on reclaimed land around an offshore island and reached by train or a highway over interlocking bridges, was forced to close last week and hundreds of flights were canceled or rescheduled when protesters and police clashed, Reuters reported.
