The ‘Heathrow Pause’ activists had hoped to bring Heathrow to a standstill on Friday by flying drones but struggled to get them off the ground due to signal jamming, and the airport said it remained fully operational. The 53-year-old was arrested on Thursday and Saturday, and appeared in court on Monday. He was remanded in custody until Oct. 14, when he will return to court.
Heathrow Pause, a splinter group of Extinction Rebellion, had planned to fly the drones no higher than head height in a bid to put pressure on the government to take tougher steps to reduce carbon emissions.
