Airport officials said airport operations weren't impacted by the apparent intrusion on Tuesday night.
Operations at Bush Intercontinental Airport weren't impacted despite a response to a reported person trespassing on the tarmac Tuesday evening.
Houston Airports System said a female, whose age was not immediately disclosed, was on runway 15L - one of the five serving the airport - causing a closure of the tarmac for about 15 minutes.The apparent trespasser was taken into custody at about 8:40 p.m.Tuesday's incident came about two months after an unrelated intrusion by a police chase suspect. In that incident, investigators said a man used a box truck to crash through the gates at IAH.
It wasn't until an airport employee on a luggage trolley helped block the suspect from hitting an airplane. Court documents identified the suspect in the April ordeal as Karl Hollis.
