AFP reporters saw uniformed officers carry or escort around 100 Extinction Rebellion demonstrators from outside London City Airport. Police said they had made “a number” of arrests.

Airport officials said the hub was managing to stay “fully open and operational” by limiting entrance to the main terminal to ticketed passengers. The year-old group backed by Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg is spearheading a two-week global action that kicked off Monday with partial shutdowns of traffic in cities stretching from Sydney to New York.

Extinction Rebellion had announced it was planning a “Hong Kong-style” occupation of London City Airport because of the small hub’s ongoing expansion plans. Its past big event in London in April managed to shut down central parts of city for 11 days and led to more than 1,000 arrests.
