A spokesman for the airport said protestors had entered the private area of the airfield, away from the main passenger terminal and runway.

According to the BBC, the two women – Jennifer Kowalski, 28, and Cole MacDonald, 22 – were arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage.

“Over the years, I’ve had to realise that even working in sustainability provides me with essentially no ability to make the necessary changes to prevent the complete collapse of our natural systems. I have to take desperate measures to make my voice heard,” she is quoted as saying on X.
“In 2024 we all have to be considering what we can do each day to change the course our society is on. We need an emergency treaty to stop the extraction and burning of oil, gas and coal by 2030.”
The news comes just after British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned Just Oil activists for unleashing powder paint on Stonehenge – on of the UK’s oldest and most famous monuments.
Niamh Lynch, a 21-year-old student, and Rajan Naidu, 73, used “orange cornflour” for the stunt which coincides with the lead-up to the Sumer Solstice festival.
A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said “We have arrested two people following an incident at Stonehenge this afternoon.”
“At around noon, we responded to a report that orange paint had been sprayed on some of the stones by two suspects. Officers attended the scene and arrested two people on suspicion of damaging the ancient monument. Our inquiries are ongoing.”
