Activists stop deportation flight from leaving Stansted

Stansted Airport was forced to close its runway on Tuesday evening (28-03-2017) because protesters had surrounded a parked plane.
Activists said they were attempting to stop a deportation flight. Media like The Independent copied airport press reports which tried to make it all sound tiny saying the airport was ‘briefly’ closed etc:

But Stop Charter Flights reported later that night that the flight crew had gone home, the steps to access the plane had been removed and the deportation flight was no longer scheduled to leave that same night.
In short: the activists succeeded in what they planned to do!
