The activists had gotten into the inner area of the airport premises. “The airport is closed for security reasons because climate activists have stuck themselves on the runways,” said an airport spokesman. It is still unclear how many activists are on site.
An employee of the German Press Agency was able to observe at least two people sitting on the runways. Many police officers were on site.
According to their own statements, members of the so-called last generation had planned to get onto the airport premises in order to block at least one of the two runways. They wanted to disrupt the beginning of travel at the start of the Whitsun holidays. In the past, the group had carried out similar actions at several German airports.
As the airport spokesman explained, only planned landings in Munich from 5 a.m. were initially affected because take-offs were only allowed to take place from 6 a.m. The incoming planes were initially diverted to other airports.
