About 40 members of Extinction Rebellion from Massachusetts and Vermont on Saturday protested plans to add 17 hangars for private jets at the Massport-owned airport, the group said.
Massport says a small group of protesters beached a security perimeter and gained access to the airfield, which led to a temporary closure of the airport.
