A woman managed to board a TUS Airways flight bound for Tel Aviv from Larnaca, Cyprus, on Monday morning, despite not being on the passenger list. The incident occurred shortly before the plane was scheduled to depart. The stowaway was discovered when the flight crew conducted a passenger count and found one extra person on board compared to the manifest.
The crew located the woman and removed her from the aircraft. The pilot later explained to the passengers that the woman had been denied travel by immigration authorities but had bypassed security systems. He credited the flight crew's vigilance for preventing a more serious situation and reassured passengers that the incident was unrelated to any broader security concerns.
