AMSTERDAM ( Worthy News ) – A medical flight was unable to land in the Dutch capital Saturday as hundreds of environmental activists stormed an area holding private jets at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, officials said.
“Thanks to this unsanctioned rebellious grounding, our members have had to divert a medical flight bound for Amsterdam with a patient onboard,” said the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) in a statement monitored by Worthy News .
“EBAA condemns this completely unacceptable manifestation by @GreenpeaceNL. This can cost lives,” the Association added on the social media platform Twitter .
Environmental group Greenpeace Netherlands denied the accusations saying: “We only block the private jets on the platform, arriving flights will not be hindered.” Greenpeace added that the “Oostbaan (East Runway) is still in use, according to the authorities. We regret that this flight has been diverted. That was not necessary because of our action.”
However, with people nearby, the pilot apparently decided it wasn’t safe to land at the Netherlands’ main international airport.
Air traffic controller Jan van Duin, working at nearby Rotterdam Airport, said he prepared for deviated traffic from Schiphol due to the protest. “When it comes to patient transport, you go for an optimal situation,” he wrote on Twitter. “It’s okay to protest. But don’t disturb anything whose consequences you can’t foresee. Then you cross the line.”
MEDICAL FLIGHT With the medical flight diverted and tensions rising around the runway, Dutch military police detained hundreds of climate activists. Many had clambered over fences and gates at Schiphol airport and occupied an apron for private jets, which they said should be banned.The protesters ran onto the tarmac early Saturday, sitting in front of private planes parked on the apron, including a Royal Canadian Air Force C-130 transporter.It was unclear […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
