A startling incident occurred at Delhi Airport on Sunday morning when a 13-year-old boy was discovered after secretly travelling from Kabul to Delhi inside the landing gear compartment of a Kam Air flight.
The flight, RQ-4401, arrived from Kabul at around 11:10 am on September 21. Airline security personnel noticed the boy near the aircraft and, upon questioning, learned that he hailed from Kunduz, Afghanistan, and had hidden in the landing gear to board the flight without a ticket.
During a thorough inspection, security and engineering teams also recovered a small red audio speaker from the landing gear area.
The boy was taken for questioning by relevant authorities before being sent back to Kabul the same day on Kam Air’s return flight, RQ-4402.
Authorities are reviewing airport and airline security protocols following the incident.
