HONG KONG -- Hong Kong Airlines will suspend flights to three more destinations in February as continuing political protests in the city put more stress on an already strained business.

Service to Ho Chi Minh City, Vancouver and China's Tianjin will be halted, the airline said Friday, following a sharp drop in tourism to Hong Kong in October.
