Officials said work is now underway to determine how the passenger was able to bypass not only the Transportation Security Administration's passport and boarding pass checks, but also the boarding checkpoint at the Delta Air Lines terminal without raising an alarm. Multiple investigations are said to be ongoing.
TSA said the individual “does not pose a threat to commercial aviation,” but Delta is working with law enforcement to investigate the security breach.
“Nothing is more important than the issue of safety and security,” a Delta spokesperson said in a statement.
“As a result, Delta is conducting a thorough investigation into what happened and will continue to work collaboratively with other aviation stakeholders and law enforcement agencies to do so.”
According to a ticketed passenger who witnessed the disturbing incident, flight attendants were tipped off after noticing a wandering passenger going back and forth between the restrooms during the packed flight.
“We somehow flew all the way from New York to Paris with a stowaway,” a first class passenger wrote on Instagram.
“This woman somehow got on the plane, hid in the bathroom during takeoff, and wasn't discovered until just before landing.”
Federal authorities began an investigation after the plane landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Sources said the mystery woman was detained by French authorities and refused entry to Paris after her application for asylum was rejected.
Port Authority officials are expected to arrest her on her return to New York on theft of services and numerous other charges.
