Russian Stowaway Found on Delta Flight from NYC to Paris!
On Tuesday night, a Russian national was discovered as a stowaway aboard a Delta flight from JFK Airport to Paris. The woman, who lacked a ticket, managed to bypass security checkpoints at JFK.
The Discovery:
The pilot announced the presence of the stowaway to passengers, while police boarded the plane upon arrival at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. A passenger's video of the event circulated on social media, capturing the pilot's announcement: "This is the captain. We’re just waiting for the police to come on board."
The Aftermath:
French authorities denied the woman entry due to a lack of a visa, and she was detained while awaiting a return flight to the US. The TSA confirmed she was screened and did not possess prohibited items, initiating an internal review of the incident at JFK. Delta Airlines launched an investigation into the security breach, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey declined comment.
The Mystery:
The reasons behind the woman's presence on the flight and her intended destination remain unclear.
Reactions:
- TSA: Will review the security breach at JFK's travel document checker station.
- Delta: Has initiated a thorough investigation, collaborating with law enforcement.
- Port Authority of NY and NJ: Declined to comment.
This incident raises serious questions about security protocols at JFK Airport. The investigation will determine how the woman bypassed security and what measures need to be improved to prevent future incidents.
