Two members of Just Stop Oil have spray painted departure boards in Terminal 5 orange this morning, Tuesday July 30. The climate change action group has posted on X to say: “BREAKING: HEATHROW AIRPORT PAINTED ORANGE. Phoebe and Jane have covered the departure boards in terminal five in orange paint, as part of the international uprising with @_oilkills.”
At around 8:35am, Phoebe Plummer and Jane Touil went into the airport and painted the entrance hall to Terminal 5, as well as the departure boards in the departures lounge, Just Stop Oil has said. Security at the airport soon cordoned off the area, and were put into a police van by 8.50pm.
It comes just 24 hours after seven Just Stop Oil activists blocked the departure gates at Gatwick Airport yesterday (July 29), ‘locking on’ to suitcases and passively sitting in the way of passengers attempting to get past.
