Norwegian sneaks onto planes without ticket

Aug 14, 2024

Munich[Germany], August 14: A 39-year-old Norwegian man managed to board planes at Munich Airport twice without a valid ticket, police said on Tuesday.
The man first passed through security without a ticket on August 4 and attempted to fly to Hamburg. But airline staff caught him before departure and handed him over to the police.
A day later, he successfully travelled to Sweden on a flight that was not fully booked. He was eventually discovered and apprehended by Swedish police following a tip-off from airport staff.
Police are investigating the man for trespassing and fare evasion, but say that it appears he posed no risk to others.
They are also trying to determine how he managed to pass through security at Munich Airport without a ticket on two occasions.
