Two pictures taken on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza tell you everything you need to know about business aviation’s vulnerability to direct-action protests by environmental groups.

The first, taken on July 14 at Ibiza Airport, shows a pair of activists from the Spain-based Futuro Vegetal (Vegetable Future) group proudly showing off the extensive damage they have just done to a Germany-registered Embraer Phenom 300E by covering it in yellow and black paint before gluing themselves to the fuselage.
