Climate activists from the group “Last Generation” blocked the runways at Munich and Berlin-Brandenburg airports on Thursday morning.
In Munich, police ended the action on the north runway after about an hour, an airport spokesman said.

Air traffic could be diverted to the southern runway, so there were no cancellations or delays. Police in Upper Bavaria announced on Twitter that the rally at Munich airport had been broken up and the activists had been taken into custody.
overcome fences
According to information from Berlin-Brandenburg Airport, the blockade had no effect on flight operations there. The activists climbed over fences at both airports to gain access to the grounds. Some stuck to the floor.
The activists explained that they directly oppose a heavily state-funded contributor to the climate catastrophe.
“Threatening climate hell”
“What we need in the face of the impending climate hell are actions and not just empty words,” said a spokeswoman for “Last Generation”.
At the end of November, there was a first airport protest at Berlin airport. Air traffic had to be interrupted for about an hour. This time, the federal police responded quickly, a spokeswoman said. According to her, only two people made it to the runway, six others were stopped.
