Climate activists shut down Munich airport to protest flying

Climate activists from Last Generation group protested flying by shutting down Munich airport temporarily, causing flight disruptions. German authorities closed the airport after activists glued themselves to access routes leading to runways. Police detained the activists, and incoming flights were diverted to other airports. Last Generation accused the German government of downplaying the negative effects of flying on the environment. The actions were criticized by German Interior Minister and the general manager of the German Airports Association.
