Fence at Palma Airport Breached — Car Stopped Only Meters from Runway

Answer

Is it common for Palma Airport fences to have weak spots?

Airport perimeters are not a single continuous wall, so different sections can have different levels of protection. Gates, access lanes, older fence sections and road layout can all create vulnerable points if they are not regularly checked and maintained. That is why incidents like this often lead to calls for more inspections and stronger construction at critical spots.
