This is going to be expensive!
Lufthansa wants compensation for climate sticker campaign
The AUA parent company Lufthansa will demand compensation from climate activists from the "Last Generation" group, who paralyzed operations at Frankfurt Airport for several hours on Thursday morning.
According to a Lufthansa spokesperson, the exact amount of damages is currently being determined. However, it will be significantly higher than previous claims for damages against the climate stickers.
According to the report, Lufthansa had already made claims for damages amounting to 740,000 euros against the climate change campaigners for the tarmac occupations at the airports in Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Berlin, reports "Bild".

Flight operations suspended for three hours
Canceled flights, long queues, unsettled travelers: In the middle of the vacation season, climate protesters paralyzed operations at Frankfurt Airport for three hours with a sticking campaign.
According to airport operator Fraport, at least 270 of the 1,400 flights scheduled for Thursday were canceled. Six flights between Vienna and Frankfurt and two flights between Salzburg and Frankfurt were also canceled due to the disruption. There was also a disruption at Schwechat Airport on Saturday.
Politically, the issue of better protection for critical infrastructure has already been discussed. Last week, the German Federal Cabinet initiated a tightening of the Aviation Security Act, but this has not yet been passed and therefore does not apply to the current incidents.
Prison sentences possible in future
In future, the law will make "intentional, unauthorized intrusion" onto the tarmac and runways, among other things, punishable by up to two years in prison or a fine. Previously, only a fine was imposed.
