- Last Generation climate group staged a protest at Frankfurt airport early on Thursday, causing the suspension of flights. "The continued extraction and burning of oil, gas and coal is a threat to our existence," the group wrote. Airport officials issued a statement on social media site X saying: "Due to an ongoing demonstration at the airport flights are currently suspended. Passengers are asked not to go to the airport for the time being. Instead, it is recommended to check the status of your flight before traveling to the airport and allow extra time for your journey."
Later on Thursday morning, the airport said that flights were "gradually resuming," but urged travelers to check with their airline before arriving, as at least 140 flights were being canceled. DW's Daniel Koop reported "massive" lines and delays at the busy hub as traffic got back underway.
Activists promise a wave of protests
The protest came a day after Last Generation members blocked Cologne/Bonn airport. A Cologne/Bonn spokesperson said that the activists were arrested for trespassing after gluing themselves to the runway.
The group had promised multiple demonstrations throughout the week, also breaching a fence at Norway's Oslo airport on Wednesday before being apprehended. They declined to comment on whether they would target the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris.
Last Generation was formed in 2021, the name a nod to the fact that activists consider themselves the last generation before the Earth reaches the tipping point of climate breakdown. In Germany, their protests have mainly focused on blocking roads and runways to affect transport policy.
Last month, experts warned that Germany is almost certain to miss its 2030 climate goal to cut 65% of emissions.

They just show how easy is to enter airport... imagine what terrorist thinks now..
Head of security should be charged with neglect
yea scary
What are they supposed to do - line the fence with armed guards? Every airport in the world is no different than this. Surrounded by chainlink fence which is easy to cut.
lol not in usa
lol not in usa
Its a shame to have such weak security at the Airport.....it happened in the past at Hamburg too. Such a shame
They have already been dislodged. Jail time and six-figure damages looming.
You clearly know nothing about German law.
U mad bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is not the real world, only right-wing related things get jail time in Germany
@@callmearmstrong and they wonder why said laws being changed by further right wing gov (getting elected when the citizens get sick of this...poop..)
Not in Germany
Real activists would glue their mouths and noses shut to prevent the CO2 from escaping.
No coverage on paris gang rape case.
Give it time. It is all over the Australian news. It will likely get its own news piece in France 24 and DW among others by tonight or tomorrow.
Just what do they think they'll achieve with such disruption? Just delays and excess emissions, especially with the re-routing of flights and additional traffic caused by that.
They made the news, thus their message is promoted.
Why does the disruption matter? Should the protestors just watch the end of life on this planet politely from the sidelines?
@Cecil-yc6mc Why don't you tell a country like Chine or India this kind of message,exactly because this is not about climate change ,Europe is not a World Power anymore, we can't even buy groceries anymore, or pay our bills.
@Cecil-yc6mc What about green taxes in Germany? For example, they don't invest in making the world better and to heal our environment but to pay for corrupt politicians.
Just look for German SPD ,CDU and the Green politicians party.
That's the only information you need.
For everything you support is not for the Planet but for your own Wallet.
@@hubris04 actually China is installing the equivalent of 5 nuclear plants worth of renewables EVERY week.
Broo…my flight is in October in Frankfurt airport. I will be in prison if activists showed up.
In UK the planning of such a thing landed one activists in prison for 5 years and 4 other for 4 years, so doing it will probably will be an worst sentence but it's a different justice system who know.
At least yesterday in UK the Just Stop Oil got stopped in London airport as they was planning the same thing.
this will cause insane disruption. these activists should be jailed and billed the costs.
sure. and they will bill you for destroying the planet. fair?
@@Cecil-yc6mc idealism is student politics. people need to use air travel, disrupting it achieves nothing except jail time and fines for the activists. how did the activists get to the airport? by van? absolute hypocrisy.
@@Cecil-yc6mcthey already are billing all of us, specially the most humble working class. Go tell farmers to stop using oil but still provide food at large scale and affordable prices so not only rich spoiled kids with complex of superheroes can access it. Go tell a father of low income working class that the price of electricity, construction and therefore housing, and heating will keep increasing to levels that he wont be able to provide a decent living for his family. The living standards are directly related to the costs of what unfortunately produces CO2. So for most of the working class, just stop oil is like just stop breathing, both reduce CO2
What I would like to ask them is, how did you get here? By car, bus? What do you use to heat your house, get hot water etc. Do you work? How you get to your job? What is your job? I bet most of them use the same in their daily life against what they are protesting, and that makes them hypocrites.
"You criticize society, yet you live in it! I'm very smart!!!"
Nah. They aren't hypocrites. Its one of the ways to draw attention to the topic. You have the work within the system that exists, even if its to change that very system.
Still not a fan of the disruptions though.
@@theyeeningThey're protesting the very thing they use, Shouldn't they protest themselves, too?
@@najex1By making people antagonistic? Intresting plan, I'll say.
It has a train connection 😉
Send them the bill
"Hundreds of passengers being stranded" - Does this reporter even know that a single plane can seat hundreds?
It can and cannot
Just force activists to pay the costs created from this, they getting away cheap.
Hopefully they did not use glue made with oil, and the police has to use solvent without oil!
solvent without oil? They might use chisels; I really hope there is footage of that...
But ONGOING WARS DON'T Affect the climate?! What ignorant people😂😂😂
So when are we taxing airlines for the damage they create?
I bet that electric fences will be installed at key points soon.
Why?
Ah i get it, you want to make flyig even more expensive. So are you a activist too?
WHAT?? They "glued themselves to the tarmac"?
They are INSANE!!! not to mention EVIL
“Oil kills” yet electricity is the blood of modern society. These poor misguided youths.
Using glue made out of…….FOSSIL FUELS!!!!
I really hope they get jail time for this. Ridiculously dangerous and stupid behaviour.
...not to mention all the additional emissions they caused.
We had 3 fools glue themselves to the Departures Ramp at Montreal's Airport (YUL) forcing hundreds of cars to idle for hours in a traffic jam...
Bunch of attention wanting losers
Do you believe in climate change yet?
yeah, absolutely. All those bitter people in the comments are definitely a problem.
my girlfriend was on a flight diverted because of these societal leeches. Her flight had to use more fuel to go somewhere else and now she has to use more fuel through another plane, buses, trains and other transportation to get to me. All of this has to come out of our pockets we aren’t rich so yes we are bitter this causes more carbon usage and hurts people who already don’t have a lot of money to have to book more tickets to get to where we are supposed to be.
I say speed bumps..😂
Watermelon fools, green on the outside and red on the inside.
Would allowing the flights to land result in the aircrafts crashing?
If not, then they should have been allowed to land.
How is this not an act of terrorism?
Taking ordinary people ostages is not okay . Go do a positive action instead ! Be an exemple !
I've heard Berlin recently opened up an ,,International'' Airport. Maybe try using it as an additional major hub 🤔
Vliegtuigen gewoon laten starten en als je vastgeplakt zit ..jammer dan😡
Good idea. They should be jailed and fined for the delay.
du hast recht.
Wonder when they start to give the example and move to rural areas, living in a sustainable aand and Eco friendly mud hut.
Was this intended as part of a coordinated campaign? British Police arrested JSO protesters in the U.K. beside an airport perimeter.
Air -STOP !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations, they have accomplished absolutely nothing!
It is a ZIRKUS 😅😅😅
GROSS OVER REACTION BY THE AIRPORT. Skilled pilots should have been able to take off and land without rolling their wheels over them. They weren't like deer that could suddenly move, were they ? .... they were glued to the runway !
Once the security is breached a full airport shutdown is required to search for other damage or protestors. Whats to say they didn't sneak over and damage a few aircraft while they were there?
Please tell me you are being sarcastic
What …..?
Germany has so many wiredos 😅
Not more than any other country. Very few compared with the US.
Petroleum based glue, with petroleum based plastic signs, with petroleum based plastic vests, in petroleum based clothes, and no doubt arrived in petroleum based vehicles. They are dedicated to their cause 🤣
Ur smart joker
Yeah it's so easy for workers to buy everything sustainable in an oligarch "free market" dominated by the fossil fuel industry...
Why don't you go buy them everything sustainable & electric cars if you're more committed to the earth than them?
Actually (and yes I am "um actually"ing you intentionally), the need for petroleum in many useful products (indlucing medication and yes, plastic, which is a WONDERFUL material and we should stop devaluing and wasting it, it belongs in use not in nature) besides burning it as fuel is a minor, but still important reason to speed up the switch to renewables.
@@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll Actually, petroleum is an essential energy source that humans can't survive without.
P.S. petroleum is renewable.
No such thing as a free ride on the energy train. All energy use comes with consequences.
Bitte nicht im Januar. Ich habe Urlaub!! bitte
Oil kills
Stupidity kills faster.
Malaysia noted..🇲🇾
?
I mean there is news reporting and then there is clearly telling people HOW TO DO 'a crime' ,including times.😂 Props to The Last Generation for being the few brave enough to make a stand against these billionaires, killing our planet.
Taking a stand against middle class citizens who are trying to make a living, trying to get away on a holiday for their mental health or any other number of reasons to take a flight. The billionaires can afford it - middle class folks can't and they are the ones affected by this.
You aren't even causing a dent to billionaires, there are state companies too that produce oil like from Norway. Are you ok with that ?
This is madness. The West has really fallen
And this is why the rest of the world laughs at you, Europe. Why do you let them be?
they feel better about themselves by pretending to be "kind humans" while their poor people starve
Corporate interests keep us using fossil energy. Those without such an analysis are surely not part of the conversation. Speaking for "ordinary working people" and "common sense" is a kind of dog whistle for populist culture war politics. At the end of the day if your willing to ignore physics, deny climate change you are relegating yourself to the dustbin of fossil era ideology. If you can think of a better tactic to raise awareness, suggest it at a climate action meeting otherwise keep your generic armchair critiques to yourself.
Guess just ignore 25 years of faulty "climate" predictions or 50 years ago in the 1970s when the "experts" used to say an ice age was coming by the year 2000! Its big corporates that fund this BS to sell another product off the backs of poor working people. If we gave up all fossil fuels billions of people would die how ironic!
Last Generation fighting for us!
more like for their careers
C change has already been debunked just another scam by the elite
No.
You have to be kidding me! While you post on your child slave labor produced phone or laptop using elements mined in Africa with child slaves, then go get your coffee produced also with child labor but hey, last generation fools will save you on your high horse of judgement!
@@TioPablitoGaviria still don't believe in climate change yet? LOL
Thank you young people for exercising free speech and civil disobedience on an existential crisis.
i am curious just how many of these protesters don't own a car or motorbike
I think they have lost most of the fight for climate justice. Here in Germany the fines for such actions are very high
I JUST FEEL SORRY FOR WILDLIFE
👍
They should come to INDIA ❤😂
Love. The. Oil
Germany needs the US Israel help as always 😂😂
You know all the awkward catastrophic flooding you've been experiencing, along with the unbearably high temperatures.. That's caused by hydrocarbon usage, like air travel for tourism. You have a choice. You can die with the status quo, or make substantial changes urgently. Not a difficult concept really.
😂😂
Der deutsche Staat lässt sich mal wieder vorführen. Durch solche Aktionen wird der Standort Deutschland noch attraktiver.
Ridiculous.
These climate activists are becoming very annoying
They have always been annoying.
KGB Operation
Has KGB been relaunched? When this happened?
@@claus-not-santa who knows?
@@alsanchez5038 You do not?
While I definitely sympathise with their cause, this was appallingly counterproductive regarding support.

Plz just praying 🙏🙏🙏🙏 let it go get world peace
I think Germany should volunteer to be the climate superhero and just stop using oil, gas, nuclear etc, and just rely 100% on renewables. Come on Germany, show the world what happens when a country goes climate crazy.
Gluesers.
Blocking air traffic just aggravates people.if you has walked there and and only uSE ELECTRCAL only transportation that are charged by wing n solar then I would hope anyone that could do that is not only a great person but brave aswell
I think only people that haven't been properly informed of the climate crisis get angry. Others just understand. Can you really blame protesters for people not knowing, and not trying to know?
It can put air planes and the people on them in danger!
@@martytube821 it can't. Nobody is putting people in danger here but the airlines with their pollution. Generations of people.
