Officials say the woman is a Russian national who did not have a ticket when she boarded the plane at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
A stowaway was found and arrested onboard a Paris-bound Delta flight from New York City Tuesday night, according to authorities. Police boarded the plane at the Paris airport as seen in a video from a passenger that was shared on social media. "This is the captain. We’re just waiting for the police to come on board," the pilot can be heard saying.
She was placed in a waiting area for the time needed to return her to the United States as she held a valid US residence permit, the French National Police said in a statement."TSA takes any incidents that occur at any of our checkpoints nationwide seriously," the spokesperson said. "TSA will independently review the circumstances of this incident at our travel document checker station at JFK.
