A Delta Air Lines passenger who flew from New York to Paris as a stowaway is remaining in France for now after disrupting the return flight to the US that had been booked for her.

The woman, identified as Svetlana Dali, boarded flight 265 – which was full – without a ticket before it departed from John F Kennedy airport in Queens, according to officials. The US’s transportation security administration (TSA) said that while Dali, 57, went through property security channels, she never had a boarding pass or passport checked.
