FRANKFURT, July 25 (Bernama-dpa) -- About 140 flights were cancelled at Frankfurt airport due to a climate protest, the operators of the airport said on Thursday.
Passengers should expect delays for the rest of the day, said operator Fraport.
A total of 1,400 take-offs and landings were planned for Thursday.
The runways were clear for flight operations again at 7:50 am (0550 GMT), just under three hours after eight people entered the airport premises and stuck themselves to the tarmac and a fence.
A Fraport spokesman condemned the protest, saying that "the perpetrators face severe penalties and high civil claims for damages."
