MIAMI • A 26-year-old man survived a flight from Guatemala to Miami over the weekend after hiding in the airplane’s landing gear compartment, officials said.
American Airlines Flight 1182 from Guatemala City landed at Miami International Airport last Saturday, according to Mr. Alfredo Garduno, a spokesman for the airline.
Once the plane landed, it “was met by law enforcement due to a security issue”, Mr. Garduno said in a statement, adding that the airline was working with law enforcement agencies.
United States Customs and Border Protection said its agents had taken into custody a man “who attempted to evade detection in the landing gear compartment of an aircraft” that arrived in Miami from Guatemala last Saturday.
