Activists: Airport expansion: Opponents are planning a protest at DHL in Leipzig

With various protests, activists want to take to the streets in the coming days against the planned expansion of Leipzig/Halle Airport. "There are an incredible number of emissions being emitted there," said a spokeswoman for the Transform LEJ alliance on Wednesday. In addition, it is the only airport in Germany that does not have a ban on night flights. A vigil is therefore planned on Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in front of the Saxony State Directorate, which is responsible for approving the project.
