Stowaway Found Dead on Landing Gear of Royal Air Maroc Flight from Guinea to Morocco

The story is a sad one. A Guinean national, clinging to the landing gear of a Royal Air Maroc (RAM) plane, was found dead on Monday, September 30, upon arrival at Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca.

Coming from the Guinean capital, Conakry, the man had just traveled 3,800 km, suspended in the air, for 3 hours, at an altitude of 11,000 meters and under a temperature well below 0 degrees Celsius.

At Casablanca International Airport, ground staff recovered the body of the stowaway, who was still hanging from the landing gear of the aircraft operating flight AT526.

Knowing that airports are subject to strict security checks, the matter is more than embarrassing for the security services at Conakry Airport, whose vigilance was thwarted by the individual.
