NokNokJoke Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I heard on the news yesterday that the airport accounts for 5 percent of the gross income (or something) of HK, enough to hurt, as well as international businesses preparing options if this continues.Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which side would North Korea or Japan or even Thailand choose? Thanks for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traubert Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 6 minutes ago, Con Peoples Fund said: China already have troops station in Hk. Very true and has been stated at least five times by different people already today. Too many think that HK is a country, it's not. It's a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China. Just another province. Like Tibet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor did the Thai BKK airport protestors when they shut down the BKK airport a while back. That caused a lot of problems for people that had planned vacations, booked and paid reservations, scheduled once a year time off from work, flew from 1/2 way around the world. I have no sympathy for airport protestors that do nothing but inconvenience others. If you want to protest, go protests where your government sits or holds court or whatever.

I believe the protests in the airport do not effect transfer flights. Delays, yes. The shutdown of the HK airport would affect all flights that go to/from that airport. Even if the terminal and air traffic control were to somehow remain open and operational, what about the confidence of the future passengers booking their tickets with a Hong Kong leg? Mainland China has many tricks they can use to enforce their influence over HK. 6 hours ago, lamyai3 said: .........Closure of Chinese airspace would send their ticket prices from Europe into the stratosphere, killing the profitability of these routes - they don't get much of their profit through passengers who hop on the last sector only. The writer draws parallels to the devastating effects the closure of Saudi airspace had on Qatar Airways' business in recent years, and sets out how much worse this would be for the HK airline: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-08-12/china-clips-cathay-s-wings-over-staff-backing-hong-kong-protests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
