On Wednesday afternoon, there was an incident at Innsbruck Airport: A man with a bare torso ran onto the runway – just as a commercial aircraft was moving onto the tarmac. The police and the airport confirmed a corresponding online report by the Tiroler Krone to the APA.

Plane Took Off with Delay

How the man was able to enter the secured airport grounds is still unclear. He was escorted off the premises by airport staff and then temporarily detained by the police. He is now to be questioned.

According to an airport spokeswoman, the affected Transavia aircraft was not stopped but initially continued to taxi in the opposite direction. The flight finally took off towards Eindhoven with a delay of eleven minutes.
