10 September 2019They were stopped at the airport bar and did not hear the rumor calling their flight three times: when they found out they were leaving, they opened an emergency door and chased the plane to the runway.

It happened at the Cagliari-Elmas airport, protagonists of a 54-year-old Sardinian and his English friend of 40. The two will now have to pay a fine of 2,064 euros each.

This morning they had to leave on a flight to London. They probably arrived early at the airport and decided to stop by the bar for a drink. One glass after another, they didn't notice the voice calling them to the gate. Only at the last minute did they realize that the plane was about to leave: without losing heart they reached the exit, opened the emergency door, equipped with an alarm, and with their hand baggage under arm they went to chasing the plane while it was reaching the runway. The two were immediately blocked by Polaria agents. With the policemen they tried to justify themselves, but it didn't help to avoid the heavy fine. The two will also have to pay for a ticket for another flight to London.
