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

  • A jury convicted 57-year-old Russian citizen Svetlana Dali last year for sneaking onto a New York to Paris flight without a boarding pass at JFK Airport.
  • Dali initially failed security at JFK but bypassed TSA and gate agents by blending with ticketed passengers and using a special airline employee lane.
  • She hid in the plane’s bathroom for hours until crew discovered her near Paris, after which French authorities detained her and later flew her back to New York.
  • Dali admitted to intentionally evading security and staff to avoid buying a ticket, and prosecutors noted she evaded security at two other airports before JFK.
  • Dali faces up to six months in prison following a brief federal trial in Brooklyn and has been held for over five months at this time.
