How did 11-year-old fly with no ticket, boarding pass?

 

An 11-year-old boy who managed to fly from Manchester to Rome without a passport, ticket or boarding pass on the eve of the London Olympic Games has left red faces among airport officials, who are investigating how he did it.

 

Manchester Airport spokesman John Greenway said initial inquiries revealed the boy passed through border controls and ticket checks without documentation on Tuesday just by closely tailing families. He was discovered only after passengers raised concerns mid-way through the flight.

 

Manchester, in northern England, is hosting several Olympic soccer teams playing at the city's famous Old Trafford stadium.

 

The airport and the airline, Jet2, have suspended several staff. Transport Secretary Justine Greening has demanded a report.

 

"We'll be looking to rectify as soon as possible, making sure it doesn't happen ever again," Greenway said.

 

The airport emphasized the boy did not pose a security risk.

 

"He did go through full security screening. So he didn't present a threat to himself, to other passengers, to the aircraft," Manchester Airport Director of Communications Russell Craig told Sky TV.

 

The boy was escorted back to Manchester on a return flight and reunited with his parents on Tuesday evening.

 

Spokesman Greenway said the airport has not beefed up security to the level of the international airports around London, which are seeing the bulk of visitors for the July 27-August 12 Games.

 

"But it's the busy summer period for us so there will be additional security staff on anyway," he said.

 

Speaking on Sky TV, Transport Secretary Greening said:

 

"We place an incredibly high premium on making sure that security checks are being done and obviously I'll be very keen to understand exactly what happened in that case."

I don't get the link between this story and Somalis.

^ The way I understood this is that many somalis would love to be in this 11 years old shoes. I guess heading somewhere in the west with no boarding pass (or sharci) lol..I mean that's the only connection I could make.

good interpretation, but i never thought about it, when i first read the topic i tried to make a quick research into the story, I though maybe the boy was a Somali visiting his auntie in Aprilia Rome, or maybe the plane was Jubba airways;) but couldn't find the link until Aliyah came to save the thread:). good spot Aliyah.

Sida ay Aaliya sheegtay waaye. Soomaali badan, siiba kuwa Afrika iyo Carabaha joogo, ayaa jeclaan lahaa dhoofkaan wiilka dhoofay camal, yacni bilaa baasaboor iyo fiiso midkoodna. Leenkaas 'bug' ayaa la yiraahdaa. Wiilkaan muqalas ayaa waday ee lama oga wali.

MMA, please respect forum rules and stop misleading people with your thread titles.i almost missed this news of most important before checking it out!

It's not only a riyo but actually it happens. Many Somali's when they arrive in the west and ask for asylum at the airport, flush their papers through toilets and then pretend they dont have a ticket nor travel documents.
