A probe is launched after a boy managed to take a flight from Manchester to Rome on his own, without a passport or boarding pass.
Staff Suspended Over Security Breach
An 11-year-old boy sneaked onto a plane without a passport or ticket and flew to Rome from Manchester Airport, it has emerged.
Liam Corcoran passed through security without being checked, before making his way on to the Jet2.com flight yesterday.
Police say the boy - who is understood to have an interest in planes - had run away from his mother while shopping at Manchester's Wythenshawe Civic Centre.
Several staff at Jet2.com have been suspended pending an investigation.
It is understood Liam made his own way to the airport after disappearing from his mother's side.
The Manchester Evening News reported that he then followed a family at Terminal 1. He was scanned by security staff, but his lack of documents went unnoticed.
The youngster passed through a gate where he was not required to show a passport or boarding pass.
