Climate activists halt traffic at two German airports

FRANKFURT, Germany: Climate activists demonstrated at four German airports on Thursday, glueing themselves to the tarmac and briefly bringing air traffic to a halt at two before being arrested.

Activist group “Letzte Generation” (Last Generation) said its members had entered four German airports -- Cologne-Bonn, Nuremberg, Berlin and Stuttgart -- unfurling banners reading “Oil kills”.

“A total of eight people entered the taxiways as early as 5:00 am and stuck themselves to the asphalt,” the climate organisation said in a statement. They did not enter the main runways.
