Leipzig/Halle Airport is a major air transport hub. Airport spokesperson Uwe Schuhart said air transport operations would be suspended for approximately three hours starting at 12:30 a.m.

The protests did not appear to significantly affect passenger flights, which do not take off or land at night. The airport's website showed the first plane departing at 5:41 a.m., about 15 minutes late.

Police said the activists cut a hole in the fence surrounding the area, and they were subsequently arrested.

This bill, which still needs legislative approval, envisages penalties of up to two years in prison for those who intentionally trespass into airport airspace, such as taxiways or runways, endangering civil aviation. Currently, such trespasses are only punishable by fines.
