In Europe, activists from the German group "Last Generation" temporarily grounded flights at the Frankfurt and Cologne airports by gluing themselves to the tarmac.  

The activists have been calling on the German government to divest from oil, gas and coal by 2030.

In the U.K., police arrested at least seven members of the direct action group Just Stop Oil Wednesday as they cycled toward London’s Heathrow Airport ahead of a planned protest action. 

Direct actions at or near airports have also been reported in Austria, Finland, Switzerland, Norway and Canada, where on Wednesday, "Last Generation activists" blocked access to Montreal International Airport for hours, demanding an end to fossil fuels.
