BNE closed, airport incursion of some type.
 
Brisbane airport currently closed. Police all over the runway. Two people arrested, one still missing. Some type of incursion. Planes circling everywhere. Busy night for the tower.

Initially tower was refusing to tell aircraft what was going on, just that the airport was closed. Later saying police on the runway, so closed.

SIA flight has been circling a lot, and now talking about heading to OOL. You can see a few aircraft heading into OOL now. Busy night down there.

Looks like SQ southbound now after several rounds of the hold....and Tiger making a sharp right also...

There is a smashed up car on the runway and a nice bug hole in the fence.

Flight radar 24 seems to be supporting the story. SIA245 looks on way to OOL along with a VOZ AKL-BNE flight. All the domestics heading there too.

Those on the ground at OOL starting to line up for departure so maybe it's clearing/ed.

The taxiways at OOL are full of parked aircraft. They are advising the SIA he will have to backtrack, turning at the end, to vacate. He is a little worried about room :) Just missed it on Sky, but apparently one woman arrested.

Also apparently something about a laser on the runway. Wonder if it is some type of protest stunt. Know a few of the airside ops team, they will be in for a busy night :)

SIA245 looks like it's having a really really bad day! Appears to have already diverted to OOL once, gotten airborne then caught up in this and heading back.

OOL tower has extended opening to 1600, but now worried about not having enough fuel onsite to get everyone back out. Just heard tower is re-opening, so JST flight just heading there now.

gchriste 8th Jul 2014 13:16

And they have just re-opended. Bit of a rush to get clearance from ground now, imagine there were a few waiting to go.

Turning nodes at the end should be plenty for SQ to carryout their 180.
It was a 772 was it?

gchriste 8th Jul 2014 13:47

Nah it was a A330. Don't know what his problem was :)

Poor bugger, literally a few minutes after he landed they re-opened Brisbane.

I hope they had their hi viz on...and were displaying an ASIC card:E

3 star wanted level GTA V? :E

She was aiming for the piano keys when she broke through, anybody know if she came close to the mark?

Cactus, indeed she was aiming for the threshold. It was the "not stable" call by the husband and the subsequent go around that things got out of control.

Cactusjack 8th Jul 2014 23:38

She messed up the approach, flaps were set at 15 and hubby was coming in too fast and too high. Maybe her glideslope was out, or maybe poor training or human error, either way she missed the moneyshot!

glekichi 8th Jul 2014 23:45

Very similar thing happened 12-18 months ago. Bizarre.

500N 8th Jul 2014 23:48

Bizarre as in it is the second time someone has driven through the fence
or done the same thing ?

Very hard to stop a committed person getting through a boundary fence,
especially with a vehicle.
