YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFlight check-in has been suspended at Hong Kong International Airport for a second consecutive day because of anti-government protests.
The airport, which is one of the world's busiest, has been the site of protests for five consecutive days.
Videos on social media show passengers struggling to get through demonstrators, who have been sitting inside blocking departures.
The city's leader, Carrie Lam, earlier issued a fresh warning to protesters.
