Environmental activists Last Generation called on people to stop traveling by air

Berlin-Brandenburg Airport said today it had closed access to its runways due to unauthorized access by many people, while a climate group said activists stuck their hands to the tarmac on the runways.

Environmental activists Last Generation have called on people to stop traveling by air and for the government to stop subsidizing air travel, the group said today.

“In an area of ​​the airport that is not allowed to be accessed by the public, we encountered many people who had previously gained unauthorized access and some had stuck their hands there,” Berlin police said in a tweet.

An airport spokesman said police had arrested the activists, but the runways remained closed for staff to carry out checks to ensure no additional people were there.

The spokesman could not specify how many flights were affected.
