Germany’s Cologne/Bonn airport announced on Thursday morning that it was temporarily suspending operations after an “unauthorized intrusion.”
The airport is one of Germany’s busiest passenger airports.
Letzte Generation or “Last Generation” climate activists had promised demonstrations at several German airports this week.
They shared footage of themselves blocking the runway in Cologne, as well as in Stuttgart. The group also claimed to be blocking traffic in Berlin and Nuremberg.
