Serial Stowaway Detained in Italy After Boarding United Flight Without a Ticket
TL;DR
Svetlana Dali, who previously stowed away on a New York–Paris flight in 2024, was detained at Milan’s Malpensa Airport after boarding United Airlines Flight 19 from Newark to Milan without a ticket or boarding pass, evading TSA and gate agents, according to two people familiar with the incident. United Airlines said it is investigating with authorities. Dali’s long history of security breaches—convicted in 2024 and having previously tried to flee detention with a GPS monitor—highlights ongoing vulnerabilities at busy travel hubs.
