Air traffic suspended at Frankfurt airport due to climate activists

Air traffic at Germany’s Frankfurt airport has been temporarily suspended after activists from the climate group Last Generation managed to gain access to the airport grounds, police confirmed on Thursday morning.

According to a dpa reporter on the ground, several protesters entered through a fence in the early hours and glued themselves to the tarmac at Germany’s biggest airport.

“All security authorities are currently working to resolve disruptions as quickly as possible,” a spokesman for federal police stationed at the airport said.

In a post on X, Last Generation called for an end to fossil fuel use by 2030.

“The continued extraction and burning of oil, gas and coal is a threat to our existence,” the group said.

The action comes after Last Generation activists glued themselves to the tarmac at Germany’s Cologne/Bonn airport on Wednesday, briefly disrupting air traffic.
