AirportWatch
AirportWatch, formed in 2000, is an umbrella organisation which campaigns for a demand management approach to aviation.[1]
History
AirportWatch was formed in 2000.
In the run-up to the 2007 Camp for Climate Action near Heathrow Airport, BAA sought an injunction, banning members of groups supporting AirportWatch, such as the National Trust and Greenpeace, from attending the protest.[2] The airport operator won a reduced injunction naming senior members of AirportWatch and Plane Stupid, but not including AirportWatch or its members.[3]
AirportWatch is a member of the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition.[4]
