On the evening of November 1st, a woman caused an unexpected scene at the Canberra Airport in Australia. According to the Australian Federal Police, the woman was arrested for entering an airside area or security zone without permission, damaging property, and possession of a small quantity of cannabis. She was also denied bail and is due in court on November 3rd.
Simon Hales, a passenger on the plane, described the incident as “bizarre”. He recalled the woman trying to get the attention of the pilot and jump up in an attempt to make her flight. He later elaborated on the incident in a Facebook post, saying the woman had missed her flight and “pushed past the staff at the door, ran down onto the tarmac and ran up to the plane”.
Dennis Bilic, who recorded a video of the incident, was surprised that airport staff did not try to stop the woman from running onto the tarmac. He said, “People were a bit flat-footed, they didn’t seem to know what to do, that was the weird part. ‘Is anyone gonna stop her?’”
The flight to Adelaide was delayed by 10 minutes due to the incident. However, it was soon back to normal. This incident is a reminder to always be aware of the safety measures in place at airports and to follow the instructions of airport staff. No matter how desperate you are to make a flight, it's always important to be mindful of the safety of everyone around you.
