Greta Thunberg joins marchers in Farnborough Airport protest.

Greta Thunberg participated in a protest against an airport expansion at Farnborough Airport. The airport plans to increase the cap on flights from 50,000 to 70,000 per year. Protesters, including Thunberg, called for a total ban on private jets, claiming they are up to 30 times more polluting than passenger airliners. The protest was organized by Extinction Rebellion Waverley and Borders, with demonstrators marching from Farnborough town center to the airport gates, setting off flares and joined by drummers.
