An investigation is in progress to ascertain how the individual accessed the secure area. Authorities are scrutinizing all possible entry points, including the airport’s stormwater drainage system.

“Accessing drains is a very simple way of getting into an airport and breaching the security fences,” aviation expert Geoffrey Thomas said.

He labelled the security lapse that allowed the intruder in “grossly irresponsible”.

“It might have been an act of terrorism and in a worst-case scenario, the response group might indeed need to take down the person responsible,” he stated.

The incident has triggered calls for comprehensive security reviews at airports nationwide, including Adelaide Airport.
