Law enforcement sources claim that Svetlana Dali, a woman who has a history of unlawfully boarding airplanes, stowed away on a United Airlines flight from Newark Liberty International Airport to Milan, Italy, in early February 2026. This is Dali's second confirmed attempt to get past airport security and travel without the required paperwork. An investigation into how she evaded screening was launched after she was found after the plane touched down. Although there were no injuries or safety concerns, the flight was delayed. The airline and federal agencies have not issued any official statements, but authorities are examining security procedures. Dali's background and motivation are still unknown.
