Two activists cycle on the runway amongst parked KLM aircraft at Schiphol Airport, holding Greenpeace flags.

Activists from Greenpeace Netherlands cycled onto the runway at Schiphol Airport demanding the Dutch government regulates the billions that are being spent to support big polluting industries during the pandemic.

Joris Thijssen, director of Greenpeace Netherlands, said:
"KLM gets a bailout for billions of euros even though the company has no climate plan and pays almost no taxes. Efforts to help the industry get through this crisis shouldn't plunge us even deeper into the climate crisis. Blank check bailouts for big polluters are unacceptable. The government must impose climate-based conditions on these bailout billions.”
