London - Environmental activists said on Monday they had climbed atop a plane at London's Heathrow Airport to protest climate change.

The group Greenpeace said several of its members climbed the British Airways Boeing 777 after it landed on a domestic flight from Manchester.

They planned to unfurl banners protesting aviation's role in global warming.

Greenpeace opposes plans for a third runway at Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport.

Heathrow officials could not immediately confirm the claim.
