A man's body was found in the landing gear of a plane upon arrival at Gatwick Airport in London. The stowaway is believed to have hidden in the jet's undercarriage before the Air Arabia Maroc aircraft departed from Tangier, Morocco.
Discovery at Gatwick
The body was discovered on Tuesday, June 16, when the plane landed in the UK. The aircraft was an Airbus A320 operated by Air Arabia.
Investigation Underway
Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. It is thought the man smuggled himself into the landing gear compartment before takeoff. This area is not pressurized or heated, making survival during flight highly unlikely.
