英國一名11歲的男孩週二在沒有護照、沒有機票、沒有登機牌的情況下竟然順利登上一架從曼徹斯特開往羅馬的航班,飛機起飛後因爲有乘客生疑才被發現。曼徹斯特機場發言人表示,這名男孩過安檢時沒有人要求他出示任何證件,已有幾位航空公司員工因此被停職。航空公司則表示,該航班起飛前未進行乘客人數覈查,以後會將該制度強制執行。據監控視頻顯示,這名男孩去機場之前一直和他的媽媽在商場購物,到達機場後他就混在幾個不同的家庭中間過了各道安檢,之後他就登上了離他最近的一架飛機。在飛機上被發現後,男孩跟其他乘客一道抵達羅馬,然後在該航班返航時被送回曼徹斯特。

英11歲男孩無證無票竟順利登機

An 11-year-old boy boarded a plane from Manchester to Rome on his own without a passport, tickets or boarding pass.

He mingled with families to get through checks in Terminal 1 on Tuesday. He was found mid-air on the Jet2 plane after passengers became suspicious.

The airline said no head count was carried out on this flight and they would now become mandatory.

A Manchester Airport spokesman said a number of airline staff had been suspended.

Transport Secretary Justine Greening said it was "incredibly concerning".

The youngster had been shopping with his mother at Wythenshawe Civic Centre when he went missing.

Staff at the centre were alerted and checked CCTV which showed the boy leaving the complex before he made his way to the airport.

The airport spokesman said the boy passed through security checks but was not asked to show any documentation.

The boy went straight to the nearest aircraft that was boarding - the flight to Rome.

'Urgent review'

The spokesman said: "It is clear that documentation has not been checked correctly at security and the boarding gate.

"The boy went through full security screening, so the safety of passengers and the aircraft was never compromised."

Ms Greening said: "I treat security breaches very, very seriously indeed, so we are now reviewing urgently with Manchester Airport, and indeed the airline, exactly what happened."

A spokesperson for said: "On Tuesday an 11-year-old boy cleared security at Manchester Airport, without the necessary paperwork but had been through a full security search.

"The boy then boarded our flight bound for Rome.

"We have launched a full investigation into what is a serious incident, and the staff involved have been suspended pending the outcome.

"The boy has been returned safely to his family."

He stayed on board the plane when it landed at Rome Fiumicino Airport and was flown back to Manchester when the plane returned on Tuesday evening.
