The body of a stowaway has been found in the
landing gear of an aircraft that landed in Paris after a flight from the Ivory
Coast in West Africa, carrier Air France said on Wednesday.
France's
national airline said an investigation was underway.
"Air France confirms
that the lifeless body of a stowaway was found in the landing gear compartment
of the aircraft operating flight AF703 from Abidjan to Paris-Charles de Gaulle
on 7 January 2020," Air France said in a statement.
The airline also
expressed its "deepest sympathy and compassion at this human
tragedy."

stowaway was a child.
A source in the office of the local prosecutor
leading the investigation said she was not aware of the stowaway's age or
identity.
