Extinction rebellion activists block Luton airport private jet terminal
Extinction Rebellion blockades Luton Airport private jet terminals [Extinction Rebellion]

EXTINCTION REBELLION activists blocked the entrance to Luton’s private jet terminal this morning to call for the government to ban private planes. 

In an action timed to coincide with Valentine’s Day, activists used a blue boat, named after the late environmentalist and lawyer Polly Higgins, to block “all three gates” to Luton Airport’s Signature Terminal. 

Another group blocked the entrance to the Harrods Aviation Terminal, with activists locked onto two oil barrels, the group said. Others wore pink vests reading “love in action.”
