Airports in Germany suspend flight ops after climate activists block runways
India TodayTwo German airports have temporarily suspended flights on Thursday morning after climate activists breached the airfields as part of a larger protest targeting four airports nationwide. The Last Generation campaign group said in a statement that activists had stopped or reduced traffic at the Berlin, Cologne-Bonn, Nuremberg and Stuttgart airports and published pictures of activists with their hands glued to the tarmac. The Nuremberg airport said on its website that flights were suspended until further notice since 0342 GMT and warned that passengers would face delays, while the Cologne-Bonn airport said on social media platform X that flights are currently suspended while police are dealing with "unauthorised persons." German politicians have demanded better protection for the country's airports after climate activists were able to breach fences and disrupt air traffic, including at the country's busiest airport, Frankfurt, for two days in a row last month.
