Flights have resumed after a second night of chaotic protests at the Hong Kong International Airport.
The demonstration, which turned violent this week, has impacted an estimated 300 flights, as thousands of people continue into Wednesday protesting against a bill that would allow people suspected of crimes in Hong Kong to be extradited to mainland China and be put on trial.
The bill is currently suspended, but protesters want it fully withdrawn. China has a 99.9 per cent conviction rate.

Videos of Tuesday’s protests show people throwing objects at police officers. In one viral video an officer holding a protester down is swarmed by demonstrators who take his baton out of his hand and corner him near a window.
Other social media posts show hundreds of people crowded in the airport yelling as others climb onto signage.
More than 600 people have been arrested, according to The Canadian Press.
It’s unclear if protesters will return to the airport, but some flights have resumed while security remains tight.
Canadians have been advised to take precautions if travelling to the area.
“Our government is very aware that there are 300,000 Canadians in Hong Kong,” Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland told a news conference Wednesday in Toronto.
“This is a turbulent moment in the world…. I would urge all Canadians, if you live in Hong Kong, if you are travelling there, if you have relatives who are there or are travelling there, to look at our travel advice.”
Any Canadians in Hong Kong can contact the Canadian consulate if they need help.
