Bobigny, France: Two runways were closed at Paris Charles-de-Gaulle airport onTuesday as officials tried to capture a dog a week after it escaped from an aircraft, Air France and airport sources said.
Since the dog, a female, slipped out of a carrier cage last Tuesday during an unloading operation, there has been an intense search for the pet, owned by an Austrian tourist who came to France on Air France from Vienna.
Airport police needed to deploy a search drone on Tuesday, requiring the closures.
"The animal has been spotted and approached several times, but it has not been possible so far to capture it," Air France said.
The plan, added airport officials, is to get close enough to tranquilise the animal with a hypodermic needle.
