LONDON - Climate-change activists who planned to disrupt Heathrow airport with drones were frustrated early on Friday as the devices failed to fly and Europe’s biggest airport continued to operate as usual.
The Heathrow Pause group aims to ground flights by illegally flying drones within 5 km of an airport, to put pressure on the government to take tougher steps to reduce carbon emissions.“There’s no disruption,” a spokeswoman for Heathrow Airport said. “Runways and taxiways remain operational.” Heathrow Pause said that authorities had used signal jamming to frustrate the early flights, posting a livestream of activists near the airport on a Twitter feed.
But they warned that attempted disruption of the airport and flying drones without permission in the exclusion zone were serious crimes.
