A protest at Germany’s largest airport against fossil fuels resulted in the cancellation of more than 100 flights. The Last Generation direct action group has promised a full week of protests.
Frankfurt is one of the largest airports in Europe and the hub of Germany’s national airline.
The Last Generation climate group staged a protest at Frankfurt airport early on Thursday, causing the suspension of flights.
“The continued extraction and burning of oil, gas and coal is a threat to our existence,” the group wrote.
Airport officials issued a statement Thursday morning on social media site X saying: “Due to an ongoing demonstration at the airport flights are currently suspended. Passengers are asked not to go to the airport for the time being. Instead, it is recommended to check the status of your flight before traveling to the airport and allow extra time for your journey.”
Later on Thursday, the airport said flightsts were “gradually resuming,” but urged travelers to check with their airlineine before arriving.
