Activists in Germany broke into the Berlin Brandenburg Airport on Thursday and glued themselves to the tarmac in protest of government inaction on climate change.
The activists were members of the climate activism group Letzte Generation (Last Generation) and stated that the stunt was staged in protest of greenhouse gas emissions caused by air travel.
"One affluent percent of the population is responsible for around half of flight-related greenhouse gas emissions," Last Generation said in a public statement.
The protestors additionally urged the German government to invest in travel by rail.
A spokesperson for the airport said that the group, which included a 70-year-old man, gained unauthorized entrance via two separate points in the tarmac's parameter.
Approximately 13 flights were forced to divert course or change their route.
