Sacré bleu! A BABY was found in hand luggage on French airplane
A formal investigation has been launched after a baby was found smuggled onto an Air France plane in hand luggage yesterday.
According to the well-known French airline, a woman boarded the plane from Istanbul to Paris with the child concealed in a bag as the baby girl did not have a valid flight ticket.
Agence-France Presse has since added that the woman in question was actually in the process of the adopting the child from Haiti when the incident occurred.
She originally attempted to board a flight with the baby in tow and: "had crossed the customs checkpoint with the child, when she was prevented from boarding a flight with her," said a witness to the news agency.
The woman then reportedly attempted to hide the child by placing her at her feet covered in a blanket but was seen doing so by other passengers.
It was then that the woman attempted to board another flight by buying a ticket solely for herself and putting the child in her carry-on luggage.
