In a shocking turn of events, a man was able to bypass security and board a flight without a passport or boarding pass. This incident occurred just a week after another man managed to do the same and fly from the UK to New York. The British man, who has not been identified, snuck through security at Gatwick airport and boarded a Norwegian Air flight bound for Copenhagen. This news has caused concern and calls for an immediate review of airport security.
According to The Sun, the man was caught before reaching his intended destination as the crew on the flight realized he did not have a passport or ticket. He was promptly escorted off the plane by police. A source shared, "The man brazenly followed other passengers through the security checkpoints and somehow made it to the gate without being noticed. This is the second time a similar incident has occurred recently and it's clear that stricter security measures need to be put in place."
Sussex Police confirmed that the man was removed from the aircraft by officers and described it as a "medical incident". It is reported that the man was arrested and taken into custody, but no criminal charges have been brought against him. A spokesperson for the police stated, "We provided assistance to the man who had concerns for his welfare. As a precaution, passengers were temporarily disembarked while a search was conducted. Once the aircraft was cleared, they were allowed to reboard and the flight departed as scheduled."
This is not the first time such an incident has occurred. Just a week ago, it was revealed that Craig Stuart had flown from the UK to New York without a passport or boarding pass. He had also managed to tailgate another passenger through security and make it onto the flight. He was eventually caught and returned to the UK on Christmas Day, where he remains in custody.
The recent string of security breaches at airports has caused widespread concern and highlights the need for stricter measures to ensure the safety of passengers. This news has sparked outrage and calls for immediate action from authorities to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
