A 13-year-old teenager secretly sneaked onto a plane at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel and nearly flew to the USA. This was reported by The Times of Israel portal.

According to the source, the boy managed to pass through a three-stage security check without a ticket and passport and found himself on board an El Al aircraft that was about to depart for New York. Local media suggested that the teenager might have stayed close to adults.

The report also states that before boarding the flight, the stowaway spent some time in a duty-free shop. He then took a seat assigned to one of the crew members, after which he was detained, removed from the cabin, and questioned.

The publication does not specify how the boy was able to overcome all three stages of security without a passport and ticket. The incident will be investigated by the Israel Airports Authority.
