NEW DELHI: A 13-year-old Afghan boy who survived a perilous journey hidden inside the wheel bay of a Kabul-Delhi flight was deported back to Afghanistan on Sunday evening, authorities confirmed to the TNIE.
The boy, who mistakenly believed the aircraft was bound for Iran, boarded KAM Air flight RQ4401 from Hamid Karzai International Airport and stowed away in the rear wheel well. The Airbus A340 landed safely at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) around 10:20 am, following a 94-minute flight.
