LONDON - British climate change activists said they would fly toy drones at London’s Heathrow airport from Sept. 13, a step that is likely to ground flights, to put pressure on the government to take tougher steps to reduce carbon emissions.
The Heathrow Pause group said it would fly toy drones within the restricted zone but outside the flight paths of the airport, a step the group said would force the airport to ground flights. Heathrow Pause, a splinter group of Extinction Rebellion which has disrupted London with high profile action this year, said it would fly drones at no higher than head level and give the airport one hour’s advance notice.“We agree with the need to act on climate change. This is a global issue that requires constructive engagement and action. Committing criminal offences and disrupting passengers is counterproductive,” a spokesman for Heathrow said.
