Climate activists of the "Last Generation" have agreed to pay 15,000 euros to Vienna Airport after staging a protest at Vienna-Schwechat Airport in July of the previous year.
In the civil lawsuit initiated by Vienna Airport against the "Last Generation" regarding a disruption action in July of the previous year, a settlement was reached on Tuesday at the Korneuburg Regional Court. According to a press release, this includes a payment of 15,000 euros by the activists. The original amount in dispute in the case was 30,000 euros.
The protest action at Vienna Airport in Schwechat (Bruck a. d. Leitha district) on July 27, 2024, was widely announced in advance by the "Last Generation." Ultimately, around 50 people held an unannounced demonstration in the arrivals area of Terminal 3, during which confetti was also scattered. Due to the costs incurred, the airport filed a civil lawsuit, specifically directed against seven individuals according to the "Last Generation."
On Tuesday, the first hearing in the legal matter took place at the Korneuburg Regional Court. During this, the settlement was reached, but it can still be revoked by either side within four weeks. Just a few weeks after the airport action, the activists of the "Last Generation" announced that they would end their climate protests under this name.
