"Airport operations were temporarily suspended following the incident. Two departing flights were slightly delayed, while one arriving aircraft from Lourdes was placed in a holding pattern after the crew was advised of a 'security breach'."
"Last November, three people were arrested at Shannon Airport after a van breached airport security and entered a restricted area. The vehicle was intercepted by Gardaí and armed members of the Defence Forces."
An individual was observed in a restricted area of Shannon Airport near a US Air Force C130 Hercules aircraft. The man allegedly climbed onto the wing and damaged the fuselage with an implement. Airport Police and emergency services responded, detaining the man using mobile stairs. He was arrested for criminal damage and is being held under the Criminal Justice Act. Airport operations were temporarily suspended, causing delays to flights. This incident follows previous security breaches at the airport involving unauthorized access by vehicles.
