HONG KONG—Several hundred protesters calling for democracy and some chanting “free Hong Kong” converged on the Chinese-ruled city’s airport on July 26 as neighboring Singapore advised its citizens to avoid parts of the territory.

Airport authorities said operations wouldn’t be affected, but advised passengers to arrive early given the risk of disruption.
