Stowaway Passenger Causes Turbulence on Delta Flight from Paris to New York
A stowaway passenger disrupts a Delta flight returning to New York, drawing attention to airline security issues.
The same individual who evaded security by stowing away on a Delta flight from New York to Paris was again involved in a disturbance, this time aboard Flight 265 returning to New York on Saturday. The incident, which led to the flight leaving over two hours late, highlights significant concerns over airline security protocols.
According to Delta representative Morgan Durrant, the delay stemmed from “an unruly customer.” French authorities were dispatched to remove the disruptive passenger from the flight, which was due to leave Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Earlier in the week, the stowaway managed to board Flight 264 to Paris without proper checks, bypassing not one, but two identity verification points, as reported by a U.S. Transportation Security Administration representative. Upon landing in Paris, authorities were alerted and met the flight to investigate the situation.
Witnesses reported that the passenger exhibited erratic behavior during the outbound journey, hopping from one lavatory to another without ever taking a seat, according to fellow traveler Rob Jackson. The details surrounding the passenger’s conduct have raised significant red flags regarding airport and airline security measures.
Media coverage of the Saturday incident was initially reported by CBS News, further emphasizing the gravity of the situation. As inquiries circle around the responsibility of the TSA and the FBI to ensure passenger safety, representatives from both organizations deferred questions to the French authorities, who have yet to provide a formal response.
This series of events serves as a troubling reminder of the vulnerabilities within air travel security and the lengths individuals may go to breach it.
