Afghan boy, 13, found alive as wheel-well stowaway on Kabul–Delhi flight

A 13-year-old boy from Afghanistan stunned airport authorities on Sunday when he arrived at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport not as a seated passenger but as a “wheel-well stowaway,” hiding inside the landing gear compartment of a Kam Air aircraft, officials aware of the matter said on Monday.

The incident occurred around 11.10am on Sunday, when Kam Airlines flight RQ-4401 from Kabul landed in Delhi after a 1.5-hour journey.
