Airport security, and Federal and Queensland Police jumped into action late last night when a man drove his car through a gate and onto the tarmac at Brisbane Airport.

A spokeswoman for the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said the 39-year-old-man drove his car through gate 11, which sits beside the airfield between the domestic and international terminals.

The man then drove onto the airport tarmac shortly after 10pm, the spokeswoman said.

Security forces swooped on the man and he was arrested. It is understood no flights were affected by the incident.

Overnight the man was questioned by AFP officers, but no charges were laid.

The man is still in police custody and it is likely he will be taken to seek medical treatment later today.
