This is the shocking moment a Ryanair passenger, Bolivian national, ran across the tarmac at Madrid airport in an attempt to catch his flight — and made it on board.
In the footage, the traveller first appears to jump from the gangway to the plane which has already become detached from the aircraft. He then appears to try to hop onto an airport vehicle but looks to be refused.
Scrambling for his bag the man breaks into a run and is met by what looks to be two members of airport staff as a plane preparing to take off is seen on the runway behind.
A Civil Guard spokesman in his destination — a Spanish island off the coast of Africa — said he was stopped when he reached his destination and reported for an airport security infraction.
Incredibly, the crew finally let him aboard and flew him to the Spanish holiday island of Gran Canaria.
