Thunberg condemns "rich elite’s use of polluting private jets", as hundreds of protestors are due to gather outside the airport’s main gate to protest against plans to increase private jet flights from 50,000 to 70,000 a year.
A spokesperson for Farnborough Airport said: "Farnborough Airport is an important gateway for business aviation connectivity with the majority of flights being operated for business and corporate travel purposes.
"The Airport’s environmental footprint is a fraction that of a traditional commercial airport, yet it serves as one of the largest employment sites in the region.
"We recognise the importance of continually reducing our environmental impact and we are proud to be only one of a small number of UK airports to have achieved Level 4+ under the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme."
