Hong Kong - Hong Kong's Airport Authority
has cancelled all flights not yet checked in by Monday
afternoon, the agency said, as anti-government protesters
peacefully demonstrated at the airport for a fourth day.
"Other than departure flights that have completed the check-
in process and the arrival flights already heading to Hong Kong,
all other flights have been cancelled for the rest of today,"
the authority said in a statement.
Traffic on roads to the airport was very congested and car
park spaces were full, the authority said.
The increasingly violent protests have plunged Chinese-ruled
Hong Kong into its most serious crisis in decades and presented
a serious challenge to Beijing.
