Green activists in airport chain protest
CLIMATE change protestors today chained themselves to the doors of a private jet company at Edinburgh Airport.
Activists for Plane Stupid Scotland staged their protest at Greer Aviation this morning.
One of the campaigners, Lucy Mason, said they aimed to stop people boarding private jets.
She said: "It is not our intention to single out Greer Aviation as a company, but to make a wider point to highlight the fact that private jet use is incompatible with our duties to protect the planet from climate change."
A spokesman for airport operator BAA said: "There has been no disruption to any of our passengers either private or public and there has been no disruption to any flights."
