Flight activities at the airport were interrupted around 10:20 a.m. local time due to "a problem" in the taxiway, as reported by Sacbo. Normal operations did not resume until shortly after noon. Consequently, the unfortunate incident led to the cancellation of nineteen flights and caused delays for several others, according to data from FlightAware, a service that tracks aviation information.

Local authorities have launched an investigation into the situation to ascertain the specific circumstances surrounding the man's access to the runway and the airline involved in the incident. As this is a developing story, further updates are expected as inquiries proceed.
