Air traffic disrupted: climate activists block the runway in Munich

After Berlin Airport, climate activists of the last generation are now also blocking Munich Airport. They occupy a runway, which is then closed by the operator. Disruptions in air traffic must be expected, it is said.

According to Munich Airport, one of the airport's two runways has been closed due to a climate protest. According to an airport spokesman, activists have glued themselves to the runway north of the airport. Disruptions in air traffic are to be expected.

Numerous police officers had previously been deployed to a larger operation at the airport. A police spokesman was initially unable to provide details. According to the last generation, the police were informed in advance.

According to the last generation, several protesters also found a way to the Berlin BER airport site. "You are directly opposing a significant, highly state-subsidized contributor to the climate catastrophe," it said in a statement.
