Emergency vehicles stand on a runway at the airport in Frankfurt, Germany, Thursday, July 25, 2024, after a few climate activists glued themselves to the ground blocking air traffic for several hours.
The Last Generation group, which organized the Frankfurt demonstration, said six protesters cut holes in the perimeter fence and headed toward the runways on foot, bicycles and skateboards. Police in London said Wednesday that they prevented a planned protest at Heathrow Airport that could have had a significant impact on Europe’s largest airport.
