In a series of coordinated protests, climate activists from the group Letzte Generation disrupted operations at four major German airports, including Berlin-Brandenburg, Stuttgart, Nuremberg, and Cologne-Bonn.

The activists, wearing orange vests, managed to breach airport security and glue themselves to tarmacs, leading to temporary flight suspensions and delays.

The protests are part of a broader campaign urging the German government to commit to phasing out fossil fuels by 2030. In response, the German government is considering stricter security laws to prevent such disruptions, including potential jail time for those who unlawfully enter airport grounds.

The airport association ADV has condemned the actions as criminal and called for immediate legislative action to enhance airport security.

Despite the disruptions, the activists maintain their stance, emphasizing the urgency of addressing climate change.
