The 600-person "Heathrow Climate Camp" was established on the outskirts of the airport in order to bring media attention to the issues of airtravel and its environmental impact and reducing the use of fossil fuels.

It appears to have backfired, as businessmen and first-class travellers have sought to avoid the protests by booking a number of private jet flights instead.
