Delta stowaway is seen in new video begging flight attendants to not ‘ship her again to America’ from Paris – because it’s revealed she’s Russian
The woman who allegedly snuck onto a Delta Airlines flight from New York to France was seen in bombshell new footage begging flight attendants not to ‘send her back to America.’
It was revealed by French officials this week to ABC News that the woman, named as Svetlana Dali, is a Russian national who is a legal resident of the US.
In a shocking security breach at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York on November 30, Dali allegedly walked through security checkpoints and past the gate to sneak onto the flight to Paris despite having no valid travel documents.
Passengers filmed the stowaway after she was caught out by flight attendants, as Dali became ‘belligerent’ and screamed at staff trying to question her.
‘Please help me!’ she was seen saying in the video. ‘I don’t want to go to the United States.’
Officials said she was detained in France and was placed back on a flight to the US days later, but new footage then also showed her being combative with airline staff, screaming about needing ‘asylum against the United States.’
Delta and TSA said it they have launched an investigation to find out how Dali allegedly snuck past security checkpoints.
‘Nothing is of greater importance than matters of safety and security. That’s why Delta is conducting an exhaustive investigation of what may have occurred and will work collaboratively with other aviation stakeholders and law enforcement to that end,’ Delta said in a statement.

The TSA said Dali was originally screened at JFK Airport and was not carrying any prohibited items, but was found to be ‘without a boarding pass.’
It is not explained how Dali was allowed through the security checkpoint where they scan passengers’ boarding passes.
‘TSA takes any incidents that occur at any of our checkpoints nationwide seriously,’ TSA spokesperson Daniel Velez said.
‘TSA will independently review the circumstances of this incident at our travel document checker station at JFK.’
