Airport review after protesters glue themselves to Berlin runway

The group Uprising of the Last Generation, which has staged numerous road blockades and other stunts to highlight the need for action against climate change, claimed responsibility.

Airport vehicles with flashing lights stand at the tarmac at BER Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport on November 24.German news agency DPA quoted a spokesman for Berlin Brandenburg Airport saying the incident on Thursday was being reviewed to determine what further action may be required. The group said it wanted to highlight the problem of fossil fuel subsidies, such as for jet fuel, which allow a minority of the world’s population to fly while the majority suffer the consequences of climate change stoked by greenhouse gas emissions.

Police said five men and one woman aged between 20 and 32 were detained. Five people were released, while the sixth remained in custody. All six are being investigated on suspicion of endangering air traffic, property damage and trespassing. Airport authorities said 15 planes had to be diverted to nearby airports while five departures were delayed. About 750 passengers were affected by the disruption, it said.Earlier this month, hundreds of climate protesters blocked private jets from leaving Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.

Should let the planes run over them

Were they indigenous or non-indigenous Germans?

These protesters are all rich white kids. Threaten to add them to the no fly list and they won’t be protesting in any airport, lest they be prevented from flying around the world on daddy’s dime.
