On August 10, 2024, two activists from the climate group "Letzte Generation" glued themselves to the ground next to a private jet at Sylt Airport.

Their attempt to spray "Oil kills" on the aircraft was thwarted by quick airport staff intervention.

The activists had cut through the airport fence to gain access, but a third member was stopped by police.

The protest aimed to highlight the disproportionate impact of the wealthy on climate change, criticizing the use of private jets and luxury vehicles.

Despite the disruption, flight operations at the airport remained unaffected.

This incident follows a similar protest in June 2023, where significant damage was reported.

The group remains undeterred, continuing their campaign against fossil fuel reliance.
