Greta Thunberg attends march in Farnborough Airport protest

Greta Thunberg has marched alongside Extinction Rebellion activists to protest against plans to expand Farnbrough airport.

The Swedish climate activist joined local residents and climate change campaigners calling for a total ban on private jets, which they say are up to 30 times more polluting than passenger airliners.

The airfield in Hampshire mainly serves private jets and has applied to increase its number of flights from fifty-thousand to seventy-thousand a year.
