Climate protest - Frankfurt Airport: 140 flight cancellations due to disruption
Due to the Climate protest at Frankfurt Airport, approximately 140 flights have been cancelled. For the rest of the day, delays are to be expected in the airport operations, reports the operator Fraport. Passengers are asked to check their flight status on the websites of the airlines before traveling to the airport. A total of 1400 takeoffs and landings were planned for Thursday.
Approximately three hours after the intrusion of eight persons onto the airport grounds at 5:50 am, the runways were free for flight operations again. The Federal Police have arrested the activists of "The Last Generation" and handed them over to the Hessian State Police for prosecution, according to a spokesperson.
A Fraport spokesperson condemned the actions. They endangered the flight operations and ultimately human lives. "The perpetrators face severe penalties and substantial civil damages claims."
