- Flight attendants detected an unregistered passenger on a flight to Tel Aviv.
- The passenger was removed from the TUS Airways flight in Cyprus.
- The airline cited an administrative failure by local border control.
- The incident follows a recent near-crash on a Flydubai flight to Israel.
Flight attendants on a TUS Airways flight preparing for departure from Larnaca Airport in Cyprus alerted authorities to a passenger who had boarded without completing required registration and border control procedures. The crew noticed a discrepancy in the passenger count and, upon recounting, discovered an unregistered woman among those seated. The woman was immediately removed from the aircraft and handed over to law enforcement and security officials at the Cypriot airport for investigation.
This incident occurred just days after a near-disaster on a Flydubai flight bound for Israel, where a co-pilot allegedly attempted to crash the plane. TUS Airways, a Cypriot-flagged airline fully owned by Israelis, stated that flight safety was never compromised. The company attributed the incident to an administrative failure by local border control, emphasizing that the crew's vigilance and adherence to strict protocols successfully prevented a more serious security lapse. The flight proceeded after the situation was resolved according to stringent protocols.
