The authority took the action after a screenshot of real-time communication message involving a suspected staff member for the authority was posted on the internet, some of which appeared to be related to the operation and security of the airport when protests occurred.

The authority said it had noticed the screenshot of the message and would be dealing with it seriously without tolerance if there is any evidence showing its staff's improper conduct, such as the disclosure of operational and security details.

Hong Kong International Airport started to resume operation on Wednesday after two days of chaos and flight cancellations caused by protesters.
