Germany’s busiest airport cancelled more than 100 flights on July 25 as environmental activists launched a coordinated effort to disrupt air travel across Europe at the height of the summer holiday season to highlight the threat posed by climate change.
Frankfurt Airport said flights were halted for safety reasons after climate activists breached security fences, triggering a response from police, firefighters and airport security officers. All runways were back in operation by 7:50 a.m. local time, it said. About 140 flights have been cancelled so far, but further disruptions are expected throughout the day, the airport said.
