In brief
A stowaway caused a major disruption on a Delta flight from Paris to New York after previously boarding the outbound flight without detection, raising concerns about airport security.
In a dramatic series of events, a passenger who managed to stow away on a Delta Air Lines flight from New York to Paris caused further trouble on the return journey, resulting in significant delays. The chaotic episode unfolded on Saturday when the same individual was removed from Flight 265, which had just left Charles de Gaulle Airport for John F. Kennedy International Airport.Morgan Durrant, a Delta representative, labeled the passenger as "unruly," leading to the plane's departure being postponed by over two hours. This incident came shortly after the passenger had stowed away on Flight 264 earlier that week, ducking past multiple security checks in the process, as noted by a U.S. TSA spokesperson.Passengers on Flight 264 reported that upon landing, police boarded the plane to investigate a situation involving the stowaway, who had reportedly been moving between lavatories instead of staying in a seat during the flight. The curious events did not end there, as authorities continued to look into this unusual security breach.Both the TSA and the FBI have refrained from commenting further on this ongoing investigation, which raises questions about airport safety protocols.
