Stowaway Caught on Delta Flight from New York to Paris After Evading Airline Checkpoints
ai generated text
A stowaway successfully boarded a Delta Air Lines flight from New York to Paris without a ticket, completing security screening and bypassing identity verification and boarding status checks. The incident is currently under investigation by Delta and the United States Transportation Security Administration. Passengers were not alerted to the presence of the stowaway until the plane landed in Paris.
TSA will independently review the circumstances of this incident at our travel document checker station at JFK.
The individual bypassed two identity verification and boarding status stations and boarded the aircraft.
Even stand-by passengers just don't get on board. You have to go through the gate agent.
There's a failure here that, frankly, 33 years flying worldwide airlines, that is inconceivable to me ( … ) We have a gross failure here of security right on down the line.
Nothing is of greater importance than matters of safety and security. That's why Delta is conducting an exhaustive investigation of what may have occurred and will work collaboratively with other aviation stakeholders and law enforcement to that end.
