Munich Airport Briefly Closed After Climate Activists Glue Themselves to Runway

The protest by Last Generation led to the cancellation of around 60 flights and significant travel disruptions.

  • Eight activists were arrested after breaching airport security and gluing themselves to access routes.
  • Both runways were reopened after a couple of hours, but delays and diversions affected many flights.
  • The protest aimed to highlight the environmental impact of flying and criticize government policies.
  • German officials condemned the action, calling for stricter penalties and enhanced airport security.
  • This is not the first time Last Generation has used such tactics, having previously disrupted other German airports.
