Authorities at Kotoka International Airport in Ghana apprehended a Ghanaian national for attempting to illegally board a London-bound flight, sparking security concerns and raising questions about airport safety protocols.
The suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, was apprehended by officials from Aviance, a terminal management company, after he was spotted crawling on the airport's tarmac.
Reports indicate that the individual gained access to the airport premises by using the Burma Camp road and navigating through bushes to reach the tarmac undetected.
The daring attempt to board a British Airways plane, scheduled to depart from Kotoka International Airport Terminal 3 for Heathrow in the United Kingdom, has prompted a swift response from airport authorities, who have placed the individual in police custody pending further investigation.
The incident has raised alarms about the vulnerabilities in airport security and the need for enhanced surveillance measures to prevent similar breaches in the future.
As authorities delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding the unauthorized boarding attempt, travelers and aviation stakeholders are left contemplating the implications of such security lapses on air travel safety and national security.
