Jury Convicts New York-Paris Flight Stowaway Who Slipped Past Gate Agents

  • A federal jury found Svetlana Dali, a Russian national living in the United States, guilty of unlawfully boarding a New York to Paris flight last year without a valid ticket at JFK Airport.
  • Dali bypassed TSA and airline staff by blending with ticketed passengers, evading security measures at JFK and other airports prior to the Paris flight.
  • She boarded the flight by accessing an employee security lane, hid in the bathroom for hours, and was discovered near Paris, where authorities detained her before customs processing.
  • Dali acknowledged boarding the plane without purchasing a ticket and deliberately bypassing security to evade payment. She has been detained for over five months and faces a potential prison sentence of up to six months.
  • In February 2024, U.S. Agents found Dali hiding at Miami Airport, but could not confirm her story about legal arrival, while court documents suggest she may have entered the U.S. Illegally.
