A 29-year-old man created an unusual scene at El Tepual Airport (PMC/SCTE) in Puerto Montt, Chile. Rushing to avoid missing his flight, he managed to improperly access the aircraft apron and interfered with the taxiing of an Airbus A321 from LATAM.

According to reports, the invasion happened quickly, but airport security agents managed to detain the individual within minutes. The man was then handed over to the police, where he faces charges for his reckless actions.
Preliminary information indicates that the passenger was late for his flight and, in a desperate attempt to board, took an extreme approach. However, instead of traveling, he now faces a fine of 2 million Chilean pesos (approximately 200,000 rubles).
The incident raises questions about airport security and the challenges authorities face in preventing unauthorized access to restricted areas. So far, LATAM and airport officials have not yet issued an official statement on the case.
