Four German airports were disrupted today after eight people entered the airfields and glued themselves to taxiways as part of Oil Kills – an International Uprising to end oil, gas, and coal by 2030. The uprising is calling for governments to commit to signing a Fossil Fuel Treaty.
Starting shortly before 5:00 CEST, eight supporters of Letzte Generation (Last Generation) entered airfields at Berlin, Cologne/Bonn, Nuremberg and Stuttgart and glued themselves to the tarmac. Flights were suspended at each airport, in some cases for up to two hours, as police removed and arrested the action takers. Flights have resumed at all airports by 7:50 CEST.
The actions started shortly before 5.00 CEST at Berlin BER, and around 30 to 50 minutes later protests also took place at the three airports in North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and Baden- Württemberg. In each case, two people in orange high-visibility vests peacefully expressed their opposition by displaying banners with the words “Oil kills” and “Sign the treaty”. They did not enter the runways.
