Greta Thunberg Joins Protest Against Farnborough Airport Expansion

The Swedish climate activist, along with Extinction Rebellion and local residents, calls for a ban on private jets amid climate concerns.

Greta Thunberg joined a protest against Farnborough Airport's plans to increase its maximum number of flights from 50,000 to 70,000 a year.
The protest was organized by Extinction Rebellion and included local residents and other climate change campaigners.
Protesters are calling for a total ban on private jets, which they claim are up to 30 times more polluting than passenger airliners.
Farnborough Airport, which primarily serves private aircraft, argues that the expansion will meet demand for business trips and add £220m to the UK economy.
Thunberg is expected to appear at a court in London next week to face a public order offense charge related to a demonstration against a major oil and gas industry conference.
