Travellers of the flight flying to LA experienced a delay. It was due to a twelve-year child who somehow succeeded in skipping airport security and getting on the aircraft. He did not have a boarding pass.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now police at Heathrow Airport<\/a> is investigating the matter attempting to figure out how it was possible for a child to do it. The child in question appeared to be on the flight BA269 operated by British Airways<\/a>. The plane was scheduled to fly to Los Angeles on July, 14 at night.<\/p>\n

The plane was getting ready for a departure when the cabin crew noticed the child unattended. They wanted to see his boarding pass in order to assist him to his seat.<\/p>\n

Immediately after the incident occured police got on the aircraft together with the sniffer dogs. The travellers were required to leave the plane for another security check.<\/p>\n

The passengers had to go through a several hour delay. According to The Telegraph it is highly possible that being a transit passenger the boy set his mind on checking how far he would manage to get without being stopped.<\/p>\n

As police says the boy was found by the cabin crew during pre-flight checks. He was not British.<\/p>\n

British Airways has apologized for the incident. As the company\u2019s top priority is their passengers and crew\u2019s safety they did extra precautionary screening when the boy was discovered. <\/p>\n
