Lyon airport incident: High-speed car chase on runway forces suspension of all take-offs and landings
More than 50 cancellations and 15 diversions to Geneva, Grenoble, Marseille and Nice
One of France’s busiest airports has been closed after a car was driven at high speed along the taxiways. Dozens of flights have been cancelled.
Pictures on social media from Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport show a white car being driven at high speed, pursued by police vehicles.
An individual, believed to be the driver, then runs across the airfield with police in pursuit on foot and in vehicles. He was arrested but has not yet been named.
It appears that the suspect was being chased by police along the adjacent A432 motorway, which runs parallel to the two north-south runways.
During and after the chaotic incident, which unfolded at about 11.30pm local time, flights were halted.
Eurocontrol said: “Runway unavailable until ++ 1600 utc (est) ++ due to incident on the airfield. Zero-rate regulation has been applied.”
Many flights have been diverted, delayed or cancelled. According to data from Flightradar24, the last departure before the chase was Wizz Air to Warsaw at 11.20am, and the last arrival Transavia from Tunis at 11.15am.
