Authorities in Antigua and Barbuda have launched an investigation into a breach at V.C Bird International Airport that allowed a woman and her son to board an American Airlines flight without a boarding pass.
The incident came to light when they arrived in the US and could not clear immigration due to their lack of a proper boarding pass. The woman then sought asylum from US immigration officials.
According to initial reports, the woman and her son were being deported to Tortolla via Antigua when they managed to evade the airline staff and board the American Airlines flight without a valid boarding pass.
The duo’s sneaky act has raised serious concerns about airline checks at the airport.
As a result of this serious breach, an investigation has been launched to understand how the woman and her son bypassed the flight attendants and boarded the flight without proper documentation.
The authorities are taking this matter seriously and are working to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.
