Activists’ drone plan may cause chaos at Heathrow

Climate protesters have been warned they will face “the full force of the law” if they attempt to bring chaos to Heathrow by flying toy drones.

A group called Heathrow Pause plans to disrupt travel plans on Friday by forcing flights to be cancelled.

The planned action threatens more chaos for air passengers after British Airways pilots began an unprecedented strike this week.

Heathrow Pause – a splinter group from Extinction Rebellion – says the protest is designed to highlight the “grave risk” of airport expansion during the “climate and ecological emergency”.
