Germany's busiest airport, Frankfurt Airport, experienced disruptions on Thursday as environmental activists staged protests to raise awareness about climate change. Over 100 flights were canceled due to safety concerns after activists breached security fences, prompting a response from authorities. While all runways were operational by 7:50 a.m. local time, further disruptions are anticipated throughout the day.
Environmental groups have announced plans to target airports across Europe this summer to emphasize the connection between fossil fuels, air travel, and climate change. They are advocating for global governments to cease fossil fuel extraction and burning by 2030.
