CLIMATE activists blocked a runway at Hamburg airport early today, causing numerous flights to be cancelled on the first day of the school holidays in the north German city.
The group Last Generation said several of its members entered the grounds of Hamburg airport in the early morning and glued themselves to the runway.
“It can’t yet be predicted when operations can resume,” the airport operators said. According to current information about a dozen flights had to be cancelled.
