Two Women Chase Departing Plane Across Moscow Airport Tarmac After Missing Flight
Ground crews halted pushback and police detained the pair after video showed them running across the apron toward a closed Aeroflot jet.
- On July 25, two passengers ran onto the restricted apron at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, attempting to reach an Aeroflot flight that had already pushed back from the gate.
- Ground crews were forced to halt the pushback operation as the women approached, though the aircraft's doors were already closed, making boarding impossible.
- Contrary to some reports, the individuals did not enter an active runway; FL360aero noted such unauthorized incursions into secured areas endanger ground workers and aircraft operations.
- Authorities detained the pair and handed them over to police following the security breach; the video recently gained widespread attention on aviation sites including Breaking Aviation News.
- Past incidents include a May case in Tyumen, Russia, where a passenger was fined 3,000 rubles, and a Last November event at Cologne Bonn Airport in Germany involving Wizz Air.
