Surprised airport workers have found the body of a man in the undercarriage of a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines plane that flew from Canada to the Netherlands.
The body was found in the landing gear of the plane after it arrived at Schiphol Airport outside of Amsterdam, the NL Times reported, citing airport authorities.
The plane flew from an unspecified Canadian city to Amsterdam, but the same aircraft had recently been on the ground in Lagos, Nigeria before it was sent to Canada.
It is not clear in which city the man climbed into the landing gear mechanism and no crime is suspected.
“Investigation is still ongoing and we are trying to find out the identity of the victim so that the family can be informed,” a Royal Netherlands Marechaussee spokesperson told the Dutch daily Telegraaf.
The man is believed to have been a stowaway according to security operatives.
A similar incident took place in January 2022 at the same airport; the man who hid in the wheel section of a cargo plane traveling from Johannesburg with a stop in Nairobi was found alive after enduring an 11-hour flight. (Anadolu Agency, excluding headline)
