Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport experienced significant disruption on Tuesday morning when authorities had to close several runways to search for a runaway dog. The pet had escaped from its carrier and made its way onto the tarmac, prompting an immediate response from airport security.
The extensive search operation led to considerable delays for both incoming and outgoing flights, with runway closures lasting for several hours. Authorities are collaborating with airport staff and animal control teams to locate the dog and ensure that air traffic can resume safely. The dog’s owner has been in touch with the airport, aiding in the efforts to find the pet.
Airport officials advised passengers to keep an eye on flight updates, as delays may persist until the situation is resolved. While this incident is unusual, it underscores the necessity of properly securing animals during travel to avoid such interruptions.
Stay tuned for further updates as authorities continue their search and work to safely recover the animal.
