Climate activists from the group 'Letzte Generation' blocked Leipzig/Halle Airport by attaching themselves to the runway, suspending cargo operations for approximately three hours. The activists entered the airport grounds at midnight to demonstrate for an international treaty to phase out fossil fuels.
Similar actions had taken place at Frankfurt Airport and Cologne/Bonn Airport in the past week. The activists emphasized that they did not enter the runways to ensure the safety of people.
The airport had implemented security measures and heightened staff awareness following previous disruptions. The activists held signs reading 'Oil Kills.' This action aims to draw attention to the increasing air traffic, the inadequate climate strategy of the airport, and the lack of a swift exit plan from fossil fuels by the German government.
