About 200 flights were cancelled at Hong Kong Airport on Monday after the most disruptive protest there yet.
By late afternoon on Monday the airport announced all flights for the rest of the day would be scrapped and would plan to restart services at 6am on Tuesday.
Flight operations restarted as planned on Tuesday but dispruption is still expected.
Some Tuesday flights have been delayed or cancelled, and all travellers are still advised to check their flight status before heading to the airport.
Thousands of protesters flooded the airport on Mondayand Hong Kong International Airport said the demonstration had ‘seriously disrupted’ operations.
It follows protests at the airport all weekend which had gone off relatively peacefully.
"Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon have been informed by the Hong Kong International Airport Authority that all departing flights are cancelled for Monday 12 August, effective immediately.
"The cancellation period will extend until the morning of tomorrow, Tuesday 13 August. This is as a result of the public assembly taking place at Hong Kong International Airport.
"Customers are therefore advised to postpone non-essential travel today and tomorrow (13 August) and should not proceed to the airport. Additionally, In-town check-in services have been suspended," Cathay Pacific said.
Thousands of protesters came back to the airport to protest about the use of police force on Sunday and the disruption is the biggest yet to the city’s economy since demonstrations began in early June.
Officials said an estimated 5,000 protesters flooded into the airport terminal.
Meanwhile Beijing began turning up the heat with a menacing threat to crack down on the ‘gross violation of the rule of law and social order.’
