Ryanair passenger pursues pushed-back plane

A spokesman for Ryanair told The Associated Press that the incident is a case of airport security breach and, as such, is the responsibility of the Madrid airport police.

“The passenger had reached the gate with his boarding pass after clearing security”, an airport spokesman The Guardian.

“He pushed through a fire escape door into the air bridge, jumped down and then chased the plane.”

A video posted on Facebook, apparently by airport workers, showed the man running across the tarmac.

According to Huffington Post, the passenger (whose identity authorities haven’t yet released) carried two bags as he broke every rule of Sky Law, BUT WAS STILL ALLOWED ON THE PLANE.

The flight was traveling from Madrid to the Canary Islands, and the unnamed passenger must have really wanted to just be on vacation already.

The incident reportedly took place on August 5 around 9.00 PM (local time), a day before the video surfaced on the airport’s trade union Facebook page.

“We’re talking about level 4 security procedures”.

He was intercepted by two airport employees, who presumably couldn’t believe their eyes at witnessing this cheeky stunt.

It is not the first time passengers have gained access to the tarmac to attempt to chase down their flight. “Not even with these procedures we can feel safe”.

This was the weird moment a passenger ran across the tarmac to catch his flight.

He hasn’t got away completely with it completely however: the man will have to appear in a Gran Canaria court.
