A strange incident occurred at Cologne/Bonn Airport on Friday evening when two Romanians suddenly ran across the tarmac to catch their missed flight.
The WizzAir plane was actually supposed to fly from Cologne/Bonn Airport to Bucharest on Friday evening at 21:25. However, the departure was delayed because two people (28 and 47 years old) suddenly ran across the asphalt. They tried to attract the pilot’s attention by waving their hands. They missed boarding and tried to board the plane. However, an airport employee saw the two men and stopped them.
An airport spokesperson told the “Bild” newspaper: “We can confirm that two passengers gained unauthorized access to the apron via the emergency exit after their security check on Friday evening.”
Now these people are being investigated
According to Oliver Hünewinckell, a spokesman for the Federal Police, the gate had already been closed when the two passengers tried to enter the tarmac. At 21:33. they broke the emergency switch glass and pressed the button to open the door outside. “Criminal proceedings have been initiated against these individuals for trespassing. Violations of the Aviation Security Act are still being examined,” Hünewinckell said.
It is not yet known why the two were late. The Wizz Air plane was able to make up for its delay in the air and landed on time in Bucharest at 12:49.
