Current disruptions

Last update 3rd June 2019

The climate protest is not currently causing any problems at Heathrow airport.



The BBC has reported that the Extinction Rebellion group allegedly behind the protest is planning to use drones to disrupt flights in and out of the airport, a suggestion that the airport has condemned as "reckless" and with the potential to "endanger lives".
