On 3 June 2022, an Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Service utility vehicle inadvertently entered an active runway at night when intending to drive along its parallel taxiway after becoming confused about their routing. On reaching the clearly identified runway holding point but requesting permission to access the intended taxiway, the controller turned off the illuminated stop bar and the vehicle was briefly driven onto the runway before the driver realised their error and made a U turn to exit. The incursion activated visual and aural warnings but these were both inexplicably missed by the controller and their supervisor.
