In a bizarre incident, a Russian woman managed to board a Delta flight from New York’s JFK International Airport that was bound for Paris after sneaking through multiple security checkpoints.

The stowaway woman identified as Svetlana Dali, 57, allegedly bypassed several layers of security on November 26 to get onto Delta Flight 264 bound for Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. However, she was caught by a flight attendant before landing when she was hiding in the bathroom.

Dali was detained by French authorities after landing in Paris. She had boarded the flight at the Queens airport without any identification or boarding pass. The woman is attempting to claim asylum in France, CBS reported citing a source.

First pics of JFK stowaway revealed as Russian woman who snuck onto Paris flight heads back to NYC

She was scheduled to return back to New York on Saturday, November 30, but was kicked off the flight by Delta Airlines after she created a disturbance on the flight. While Delta confirmed a delay on the same flight due to an unruly passenger, it did not provide any details, NBC News reported.

A second attempt also failed after the airlines refused to let the troublemaking passenger fly to New York, according to CNN.

<h2>How did the stowaway board the flight?</h2>

According to a Transportation Security Administration spokesperson, the woman first breached an airport official who was in charge of the Known Crewmember checkpoint at terminal 4 of the John F. Kennedy International Airport, as per a CNN report. She then bypassed the TSA screening station, where her boarding pass and ID were supposed to be checked. It is still unclear how she was able to board the flight after TSA checkpoints.

While proceeding to the gate, Deli stood in the middle of a family, who were travelling together, according to the authorities. The investigators believe that she may have been able to go past all these layers amid the massive holiday crowds at the airport on the weekend. According to TSA, nearly 2.7 million passengers were screened at the US airport.

The woman is now expected to return to New York accompanied by a French escort on Wednesday, December 4.

According to a man onboard the Saturday flight, the woman “kept on saying ‘I do not want to go back to the USA. Only a judge can make me go back to the USA.’”

Dali has a legal residency in the US but holds a Russian passport, authorities said as per the New York Post.

Nine injured, hundreds evacuated in New York's JFK Airport fire

The United States' two busiest airports on Wednesday became the sight of rallies, as pro-Palestinian protesters blocked morning traffic, engaging in violent skirmishes with the police.

Carrying signs that read "free Palestine" and "divest from genocide", among other things, protesters blocked roads around the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). The coast-to-coast demonstrations, as per Reuters, ended with dozens of arrests.

<h2>Unruly demonstrators</h2>

As per the Los Angeles Police Department, 36 people were taken into custody at LAX, where demonstrators became unruly.

In a statement, the police said, "Protesters threw a police officer to the ground, used construction debris, road signs, tree branches and blocks of concrete to obstruct" a road into the airport. The entrance was reopened within 45 minutes with "no impacts to fights," reported the Los Angeles City News Service.

They also attacked "uninvolved passersby in their vehicles," said the statement, adding that most of those arrested have been booked on rioting charges. One person has been detained on battery charges for assaulting a police officer. &nbsp;

In Queens, at the protest near the JFK Airport, 26 people were arrested for disorderly conduct and impeding vehicular traffic, reported the Port Authority Police Department of New York. The roadway was reopened after 20 minutes.

The protests come as the casualties in Gaza continue to increase, and as the UN Health Agency reported that thousands of people are trying to flee fighting. Since the war began nearly three months ago, more than 21,000 have been killed, and another 55,000 have been injured in Gaza, as per the Hamas-run health ministry.&nbsp;

On Thursday, a report by the UN said the human rights situation in the occupied West Bank was rapidly deteriorating.&nbsp;

Urging Israel to "end unlawful killings" against the Palestinian population, UN rights chief Volker Turk said: "The use of military tactics and weapons in law enforcement contexts, the use of unnecessary or disproportionate force, and the enforcement of broad, arbitrary and discriminatory movement restrictions that affect Palestinians are extremely troubling."

Pro-Palestine rallies in US block JFK and LAX airports, dozens arrested as protesters turn unruly

A Boeing 747, which had departed from New York's John F Kennedy International Airport and was en route to Liege, Belgium, was forced to return on November 9 after a horse went loose inside the cargo hold.

The horse, which momentarily ran away from its stall onboard, was euthanised because of the extent of its injuries, as per reports. &nbsp;

The cargo flight, which was being run by charter airline Air Atlanta Icelandic, had climbed nearly 31,000 feet when Air Traffic Control was contacted by the crew in Boston and the issue of escape of horse was reported.

“We don’t have a problem (…) flying-wise,” stated one of the pilots, in a video which was shared by the YouTube channel “You Can See ATC,” but “we cannot get the horse back secured".&nbsp;

Speaking to CNN, a representative from Air Atlanta Icelandic confirmed that the information shared in the “You Can See ATC” video is correct.

<h2>Horse jumped after turbulence struck the flight</h2>

The horse was one of the 15 animals being transported to Liege, which is Europe's import hub.

As per John Cuticelli, head of the corporation responsible for operating animal quarantine and export at John F Kennedy International Airport, turbulence struck the flight shortly after its takeoff.

The horse got spooked by the turbulence hit and jumped halfway over the stall's high front barrier and was hung up, with his hind legs trapped on the stall's inside and his front legs on one side of the barrier.&nbsp;

“The horse jumped and managed to get its two front legs over the (front) barrier and then got jammed. It’s only the second time in all the years I’ve been doing this that I’ve ever seen that happen. And we do thousands of horses a year. A very unfortunate event — but that horse was spooked," Cuticelli stated.&nbsp;

In the recordings shared, Air Traffic Control was heard granting the request of the pilot to return to JFK Airport. The pilot also demanded that a veterinarian be sent inside the plane after it lands because “we have a horse in difficulty.”

Cuticelli stated, “We dispersed veterinary care, animal handlers, medical equipment, horse slings, a horse ambulance, everything necessary to accommodate that horse. We had to take the other horses out to get the equipment in to get the horse out."&nbsp;

Cuticelli said that once the animal was present on the ground, it was euthanised as it was found that its injuries were too severe to survive.

What happened at New York's JFK airport? Terminal to remain closed for the second day

Two planes nearly collided with each other at New York’s JFK Airport when one was crossing a runway while the other one was preparing for takeoff.

The incident took place on Friday, following which the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has decided to probe the matter.

The Delta pilots halted the plane on the runway just in time to avoid a major tragedy. CNN reported that the plane carrying over 150 people stopped just 1,000 feet (0.3km) away from the incoming American Airlines aircraft.

The air traffic control immediately noticed the potential collusion and immediately ordered the Delta plane to abort take-off.

″(Expletive)! Delta 1943, cancel take-off clearance! Delta 1943, cancel take-off clearance!” an air controller said in an audio recording of Air Traffic Control communications when he noticed the other plane, operated by&nbsp;American Airlines, crossing in front, according to AP news agency.

The National Transportation Safety Board also said it was looking into the case. “Delta will work with and assist aviation authorities on a full review of flight 1943 on Jan. 13 regarding a successful aborted takeoff procedure at New York-JFK. We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience and delay of their travels,” a Delta spokesperson said in a statement. (With inputs from agencies) WATCH WION LIVE HERE:

Watch: Two planes nearly collide at JFK airport, US agencies launch investigation

Less than a month after threatening to take action, United Airlines on Friday announced that it will halt its services in late October to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) airport.

Less than a month after threatening to take action, United Airlines on Friday announced that it will halt its services in late October to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) airport. "Given our current, too-small-to-be-competitive schedule out of JFK, coupled with the start of the Winter season where more airlines will operate their slots as they resume JFK flying, United has made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend service at JFK," the company said in a memo. The company added that its discussion with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had been constructive but it will take time to receive the additional slots. Thus, it could not give a timeline regarding when it will resume the services again. As reported by WION, United Airlines, one of the largest airline companies in the USA, in early September issued a warning to FAA saying it will suspend services at JFK if it did not receive permits for additional flights. "If we are not able to get additional allocations for multiple seasons, we will need to suspend service at JFK, effective at the end of October," said United Chief Executive Scott Kirby in a letter to FAA.

Ever since the JFK airport reopened after a COVID-19-induced hiatus in 2021, United Airlines is only flying twice daily to San Francisco and Los Angeles from the airport. According to data, JFK is the busiest New York airport and a major airline only operating a small percentage of flights at the airport is not good for the business. However, FAA took a measured stance in response to the letter and asserted that it "must consider airspace capacity and runway capacity to assess how changes would affect flights at nearby airports. Any additional slots at JFK would follow the FAA's well-established process of awarding them fairly and to increase competition."

United Airlines to stop operations at JFK if flight allocation not increased

An Indian-origin Sikh taxi driver in the US has been assaulted by an unidentified man, who knocked off his turban and also used expletives against him outside the JFK International Airport.

Indian-origin Sikh taxi driver assaulted in US, turban knocked off at JFK Airport

A cab driver from the Sikh community was assaulted outside the JFK International Airport in New York in yet another case of hate crime in the United States.

A video has gone viral on social media, showing&nbsp;an unidentified man using expletives and repeatedly throwing punches on the Indian-origin man, causing&nbsp;his turban to fall on the ground.

The undated 26-second video was uploaded by Navjot Pal Kaur on Twitter on January 4. She said the video was shot by a bystander at the airport.

“This video was taken by a bystander at John F. Kennedy International Airport. I do not own the rights to this video. But I just wanted to highlight the fact that hatred continues to remain in our society and unfortunately I've seen Sikh cab drivers get assaulted again and again,” Kaur tweeted.
