Delta Air Lines refuses to
repatriate Russian stowaway to the US
By
3 December 2024
Delta Air Lines has refused to
transport a 57-year-old Russian woman back to the US after she stowed away on a
flight from New York’s JFK Airport to Paris last week,
according to French airport officials. Despite being scheduled for return
flights, including one on Tuesday accompanied by six US marshals, Delta
declined to carry her.
The woman reportedly shouted, “Only a judge can make me go back to
the USA,” prompting French authorities to
remove her from an earlier flight. French officials now plan to arrange her
return with a French escort.
US authorities are investigating how the woman
bypassed multiple security checks at JFK Airport to board the initial Delta
flight without a ticket. The TSA has reviewed surveillance footage and plans to
file a civil case, while Delta is conducting its own internal investigation
into the security lapse.
The incident raises significant concerns about
airport security and airline protocols, as both Delta and the TSA face scrutiny
over the breach.
