GAP has opened an internal review to strengthen perimeter security following the contained runway intrusion.

Overview

  • Airport monitoring detected an unauthorized person at 08:15 on runway 29R near a Volaris jet scheduled for Acapulco.
  • Security teams activated the local airport security plan, SENEAM paused arrivals and departures, AFAC was notified, and fire-rescue units were deployed.
  • Guardia Nacional personnel detained the individual on the field and transferred him to the Ministerio Público to begin legal proceedings.
  • The aircraft operating Volaris flight 1332 was inspected, found undamaged, and cleared, and the runway was reopened after safety checks.
  • The disruption delayed seven flights, operations have returned to normal, and GAP says it will implement additional security measures after its investigation.
