Problems at Hong Kong International Airport from the general strike called by anti-government protesters are intensifying on Monday morning.

Just after 9 am, the MTR Corporation announced that services on the Airport Express had been suspended.

City check-in desks for the airport rail line were disrupted earlier because of the strike.

The Airport Authority warned that the strike might affect not only airlines but airport operations. It advised passengers to check with their airlines for the latest information, and only proceed to the airport when their seats and flight time have been confirmed.

Cathay Pacific, on its website, “strongly recommends” customers postpone non-essential travel. It said rebooking and rerouting charges would be waived, with immediate effect, for all tickets issued before Monday.
