A climate-activist group spray-painted a private jet in orange in northern Germany Tuesday. Footage by the group showed the members spray-painting the jet while it sat on the runway.
Members of Last Generation also glued themselves to it at an airport in Sylt and unveiled banners that read "Your Luxury = Our Drought" and "Your Luxury = Our Crop Failures," local news reported.
Their actions were directed at Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Local news outlets reported that Germany’s Left Party chairman Martin Schirdewan called for a ban on private jets flying to Sylt.
Last year, the activists disrupted travel after some of its members glued themselves to the runway at the Brandenburg Airport in Berlin.
