The violence on Sunday night has inflamed the protesters, and they have swarmed the airport. Had this messaged passed on by someone who just landed in HKG:

"Just landed at HKIA. Protest extends from arrivals all thr way the slope where you get the busses. It's like a maze trying to get through. Roads to airport jammed. Police are controlling traffic on the roundabout as none of the busses can get out of the airport terminus otherwise."
