It remains unclear how the person managed to bypass security at JFK Airport and board the Delta Airlines flight to Paris.

A woman was taken into custody after the stowaway flew aboard a Delta Air Lines flight from New York's JFK International Airport to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, the airline said.

A stowaway flew from New York to Paris without a ticket earlier this week, but was discovered towards the end of the flight. The woman flew on a Delta Airlines flight from New York’s JFK International Airport to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport without a boarding pass on Tuesday, and was taken into custody upon arrival in France.
