More than 100 flights were cancelled.

Transcript

00:00Around 140 flights were cancelled at Germany's busiest airport, Frankfurt, after climate

00:07activists glued themselves to the tarmac. The group is demanding the German government

00:13negotiate and signed an agreement to eliminate the use of gas, oil and coal by 2030.

00:20The problem is that our government has to be honest. Our government supports the

00:26aviation industry by giving away billions of euros in taxes every year. And not just the

00:30aviation industry, but other climate-damaging industries as well. Our government has to

00:35finally communicate honestly that it can't go on like this, that the aviation industry

00:39also has to be driven down socially. Flight operations began gradually resuming

00:46shortly before 8am. On Wednesday, Oil Kills activists staged a protest at Geneva and Zurich

00:54airports in Switzerland, calling for an end to the use of fossil fuels by entering the

01:01airfields and sitting down on the runways, as well as blocking access roads to the airports.
