A wave of coordinated protests by environmental activists has brought widespread disruption to air travel across Europe. Over 270 flights were canceled at Frankfurt Airport alone after activists breached security perimeters, forcing a complete halt to operations.
The actions, intended to highlight the urgent need to address climate change, have caused significant travel chaos for thousands of passengers. While flights have resumed, further disruptions are expected.
Environmental groups are calling for an immediate end to fossil fuel use by 2030, linking air travel directly to climate change. Airport authorities have condemned the protests, citing safety risks and vowing to take legal action against those involved.
