Are airport subsidies a handout to the rich?

Climate activists recently sowed chaos at an airport in Munich, Germany. On May 18, members of the green group Last Generation crashed the gates and glued themselves to a runway in protest of government subsidies for flights.

Everything at the Munich airport ground to a halt, leading to flight delays and cancellations on the busy Whitsun holiday weekend. A few of the protesters, anticipating the ire of travelers, carried signs that translate to “Problem is the government, not our holiday,” according to Euronews.
