Flight operations at Frankfurt Airport, Germany’s largest airport, were suspended early this morning following an intrusion by environmental activists onto the runway.
The police and airport authorities have confirmed the disruption.
According to a police spokesperson, efforts are underway to remove the climate activists from the runway.
The airport has announced via its website that all flights have been temporarily halted, including both departures and arrivals.
Frankfurt Airport is a major international hub and one of the busiest airports in Europe. The disruption caused by the protest has significant implications for travel schedules and airport operations.
The incident highlights ongoing tensions between environmental activists and industrial infrastructure, as activists often target high-visibility locations to draw attention to their causes.
The authorities are working to resolve the situation and resume normal operations as quickly as possible.
This incident follows a series of similar protests at key transportation hubs across Europe, reflecting increasing pressure on governments and corporations to address climate change concerns.
