snoop1130 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 THAI monitoring HK airport situation By THE NATION Thai Airways International is evaluating the situation in Hong Kong day by day after thousands of anti-government protesters descended on the city’s airport, causing a series of flight cancellations. THAI president Sumeth Damrongchaitham said the national carrier had an “emergency plan” to cope with the situation. THAI cancelled three flights on Tuesday – Hong Kong-bound TG606 scheduled to depart Bangkok at 4pm and TG602 at 6.30pm, and Bangkok-bound TG607, scheduled to leave Hong Kong at 8.45pm. The China Post reported earlier on Monday that all flights out of Hong Kong International Airport had been cancelled for the rest of the day.

brewsterbudgen Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I guess you weren't here when the yellows took over airport in similar manner, and reds burned center of Bangkok?Regretably, I was. Both those unwarranted protests were against (ostensibly) democratically elected governments. Since 2014 there has been real justification for HK style protests.

REUTERS/Issei Kato HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong's airport reopened on Tuesday but its administrator warned that flight movements would still be affected, after China said widespread anti-government protests that halted flights a day earlier showed "sprouts of terrorism".

Oh, I don't think that's necessarily true if you watch the footage going round on Chinese social media. Added to which it's not really his job. He has a Security Minister that takes care of these sorts of things. Now they've brought out the slingshots and ball bearings and the molotov cocktails, I'm afraid it's gloves off time and they've brought it on themselves. Wave your placard all you like and sing your rebel songs, but once you start with the lethal weapons, you're out of your depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redline Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 It's the obligation of every airline that flies in and out of there~they would be completely negligent if they didn't. Sell the airline, and focus on the serious problems facing the future of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
