Hong Kong, which returned to the motherland in 1997, is embroiled in its worst political crisis for decades after two months of increasingly violent protests.
The escalating cycle of violence has prompted travel warnings from countries including the United States and Australia. Commerce Secretary Edward Yau Tang-wah said 22 countries and regions had issued travel warnings for Hong Kong.
Lawmaker and Chairman of LegCo's Panel on Transport Ben Chan Han-pan said the airport was not a place for demonstrators to air political views, and that their acts would only damage Hong Kong's reputation as a tourist attraction.
