Business Aviation Braces for Brussels Eco-protests

Climáxon protest at Tires Airport in Portugal
A group called Climáxon reportedly damaged a Bombardier Global Express with paint at Tires Airport in Portugal on December 6.

Business aircraft owners and operators, as well as airlines, are bracing for potentially violent protests expected in Brussels between December 15 and 17. A consortium of political groups operating under the name Code Red has called for a “weekend of mass action against aviation.”

A notice from Code Red has called for volunteers to prepare to join as-yet-unspecified protests around the Belgian capital. It said the "target” will be identified closer to the planned dates, and it offers civil disobedience training. Brussels National Airport seems likely to be a focal point.
