The incident, which caused panic among passengers and staff, attracted media attention and prompted an investigation by the airline and authorities.
This is reported by the Daily Mail.
Airport security breach
On November 30, a shocking incident occurred at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. The woman, identified as Svetlana Dali, passed security checks and boarded a flight to Paris despite not having a ticket or other travel documents.
On board the plane, passengers and crew noticed a violation, causing the situation to escalate. Dalí behaved aggressively, refused to cooperate with the flight attendants and declared:
“Please help me! I don’t want to go to the United States”
Reaction of passengers and crew.
Eyewitnesses to the incident said the woman first tried to pretend she was looking for documents, but then began arguing with staff. Passenger Jairam Duku said:
“He spent 10 minutes looking for a boarding pass that didn’t exist.”
Another passenger noted that the flight attendants tried to resolve the situation, but ended up being met with aggression.
airline investigation
Delta Airlines and the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) have launched an investigation. The airline said in a statement:
“We are conducting a thorough investigation and working with authorities to determine the details of the incident.”
Deportation from France
After landing at Paris’ Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport, Dalí was denied entry by French authorities for lack of valid documents and placed in a waiting room.
Despite having a residence permit in the United States, a few days later she was sent back to New York. On the return flight, the woman caused a scandal again, asking for asylum.
Previously submitted petition
French authorities also confirmed that Dalí had previously applied for asylum in France, although details about the status of that application remained unclear.
The incident has raised questions about security systems at international airports, highlighting the need for greater controls to avoid similar situations in the future.
Previously Kursor reported that the plane’s crew members made a terrible mistake before takeoff.
