Nog altijd blokkeren 20 dappere actievoerders twee privéjets. Bullshit-vluchten van de baan. NU! #schiphol #sosvoorhetklimaat @GreenpeaceNL pic.twitter.com/NX5ALpH2i2

🤯Het aantal #privévluchten neemt fors toe. Dit jaar vlogen er al 16.147 privéjets over ons hoofd. In de eerste 9 maanden van 2022 werd er meer privé gevlogen dan in heel 2019. En NUL maatregelen om die groei te beperken. Dit moet anders! #krimpluchtvaart #SOSvoorhetklimaat pic.twitter.com/FZJx3A5aEP

— Greenpeace Nederland (@GreenpeaceNL) November 5, 2022

⏰7 uur. Zolang zaten actievoerders van @greenpeacenl en @NLRebellion vast aan de vervuilende privéjets. In totaal kwamen meer dan 500 mensen in actie. We zijn super trots op deze dappere actievoerders! #SOSvoorhetklimaat #krimpluchtvaart #schiphol pic.twitter.com/Dj2mnDW6pA
