Climate activists holding signs saying “ÖL TÖTET,” which translates to “oil kills,” glued themselves to the tarmac at Frankfurt Airport early this morning.
Eight members of the climate activist group “Letzte Generation” attempted to use pincers to cut through the wire fences; seven successfully made their way onto the runway, while the eighth was detained before he managed to do so. Those who succeeded attached themselves to the tarmac using a mixture of glue and sand. Later on, the remaining seven were also arrested.
The activist group is advocating for a binding international agreement to end the use of fossil fuels by 2030.
After a temporary suspension of flights, all operations resumed at 7:50 AM. Frankfurt Airport advises passengers to check their flight status on the airline’s website throughout the day, as further delays and cancellations may be expected.
