The continuing protests In Hong Kong’s airport could have a negative impact on Sydney Airport Holdings Pty Ltd’s (ASX: SYD) according to reporting by the AFR on analyst work.
Airlines have supposedly been using slightly smaller planes to transport passengers to Hong Kong from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
