While Europe saw demonstrations last week against private aviations, those protests played out at several locations in the U.S. on a smaller scale.

Following protests in Europe last week staged against private aviation, similar events on a lesser scale disrupted activities at several U.S. airports in California, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Washington state. The protests took place last Thursday as world leaders gathered in Egypt for the United Nations Climate Change Conference, and in the wake of several high-profile flight shaming instances.
