A woman discovered without a boarding pass on a Delta Air Lines flight flying from New York to Paris in November 2024 was removed from the flight taking her back to the US after causing a ‘disturbance’ onboard before the flight departed Paris.

As reported by AeroTime on November 28, 2024, the stowaway, a female aged 57 years, was discovered as the flight carrying flight number DL264 headed to Paris-Charles De Gaulle Airport (CDG) from New York-JFK Airport on Tuesday, November 26, 2024. According to reports, the woman was discovered while the aircraft was en route between the two cities, with the crew electing to proceed as planned to their destination. Upon landing, the stowaway was taken into custody by officials from the French police.

The woman, named by CBS News as Svetlana Dali, was subsequently escorted onto Delta Air Lines flight DL265 in Paris on Saturday, November 30, 2024, by the French authorities for her return flight to New York. However, before the plane had even left the gate, French law enforcement officers were called to a ‘disturbance’ on the aircraft supposedly caused by Dali. Following being apprehended by the officers, she was removed from the flight and is believed to still be in Paris at the time of writing and being held in custody by the French police.
