Passenger who delayed the flight due to being late falls to the runway in a strange attempt to board the flight

This is the surreal moment a passenger who was late for his flight falls to the ground after losing his balance as he tries to jump onto the runway and reach his plane.

The man who has already stopped the flight after being late was filmed pleading with airport workers after reaching the end of the boarding bridge and discovering that the plane was preparing to take off with a drop to the ground.

He was heard demanding in Spanish, with a foreign accent, “Bring me a ladder,” before adding, “There’s no ladder, so I’m going down.”

The unnamed man proceeded to try to get off the end of the catwalk before losing his footing and falling several feet to the hard runway below as plane passengers a few feet away looked on in amazement.

He landed on his back, his small backpack slightly breaking his fall, and at first appeared to be seriously injured as more airport workers rushed to his aid before sitting down and then standing up.

One of the people on board the plane watching the drama unfold was heard asking a flight attendant: “Can you call the police?” but was told that this was already being done.

Surprisingly, the disgruntled man who fell to the ground was seen walking towards the plane after taking a few moments to rest and recover and seemed to achieve his goal of boarding with his dangerous display.

A spokesman for the Spanish airport operator Aena confirmed that the incident had occurred in recent days and said the Civil Guard had dealt with it.

Police could not immediately be reached for comment this morning and it was unclear if he was allowed to board and take the flight he was so desperate to catch.

In August 2016, a Bolivian citizen was filmed running onto the runway at Madrid’s main international airport to catch a Ryanair flight.

He jumped off the bridge of the plane with two bags in his hands and ran along the edge of the runway to board the plane, managing to fly to his destination in Gran Canaria, where he was intercepted by the police and identified to be reported to an airport. security breach.

The unnamed man is believed to have received a large fine and the person at the center of the latest drama is also expected to face a stiff financial penalty for his actions.

In January 2018, a Pole was removed from a Ryanair plane that had just landed at Malaga airport from Stansted after leaving the plane through an emergency exit and climbing onto the wing.

Polish expat Romuald Gracyzk was later warned he could face a fine of up to £40,000 for breaching airport security, although reports at the time said authorities were unlikely to extort money from him because he lived in a charity flat. and played in the street. for tourists outside of Malaga Cathedral to make a little pocket money.

He apologized for his action after his stunt, blaming his drastic actions on a bout of claustrophobia after a delayed departure from London Stansted Airport and another inexplicable wait when the plane arrived in Malaga, but admitted: “I’m embarrassed, It was a mistake”.

Revealing that she had traveled to London at the invitation of one of her three nieces who lived in Britain, she added: “She said: ‘I hadn’t met anyone and I wasn’t late for anything.’

I do not know what happened to me. I felt a bit claustrophobic. I got nervous, I didn’t understand why we were in Malaga and we couldn’t get off the plane, so I saw a door that said ‘Exit’ and I left.

‘People started clapping and giving me a thumbs up.

‘I wasn’t going to jump. When I got to the edge of the wing, I saw that it was too high, so I got back into the plane.
