A woman who flew as a stowaway on a Delta Air Lines flight from New York to Paris earlier this week remains in France after causing a disturbance on a flight scheduled to take her back to the United States Saturday, according to two law enforcement sources. The woman was removed from the would-be return flight before takeoff in Paris, the officials told CNN. Her flight back to the US has yet to be rescheduled, the sources said. The woman had been in a waiting zone at Charles de Gaulle Airport - known as ZAPI - for people awaiting deportation, as she does not meet the conditions for entering Europe, CNN previously reported. Investigators are trying to determine how the woman got past multiple security checkpoints at New York’s JFK International Airport and boarded a plane to Paris, apparently hiding in the aircraft’s bathrooms during the flight. The stowaway didn’t have a boarding pass but completed a security screening and bypassed two identity verification and boarding status stations to board a Delta Air Lines aircraft, according to the Transportation Security Administration.
