Runway Incursions

Runway incursions are incidents in aviation where an aircraft, vehicle, or person mistakenly enters a runway when it is not safe to do so, potentially leading to dangerous situations like collisions. These incursions can occur due to miscommunication, lapses in attention, or inadequate signage. They are a significant safety concern because runways are critical for aircraft landings and takeoffs. Airports use various measures, such as training, technology, and improved signage, to minimize the risk of runway incursions and ensure safe operations on the airfield.
