Subject Concerned: Flight Delay Airport
Flights to London's Stansted airport were disrupted on Dec. 8 after environmental campaigners staged a demonstration, airport operator BAA said on Dec. 8.
"Due to an ongoing incident, flights from Stansted are currently subject to delays or cancellations," BAA, part of Spanish infrastructure group Ferrovial, said on its website.
Broadcaster Sky News said that environmental activists protesting against climate change broke onto the runway early on Dec. 8.
Stansted mostly serves short-haul European destinations, and is a major base for budget carrier Ryanair.
