Man's body found in wheel well of British Airways flight

December 31, 2003, 11:33 AM EST

NEW YORK -- The medical examiner planned to do an autopsy Wednesday on the body of a man found in the wheel well of a plane that landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport from London's Heathrow Airport.


Port Authority police found the body on British Airways Flight 177 after the aircraft landed at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

No identification was found on the man, believed to be in his 30s. John Lampl, a British Airways spokesman, said Wednesday that company officials are awaiting the autopsy results, which hopefully will tell them how long the man had been dead to determine if he boarded the plane in London, or at an earlier destination.

Last week, the body of a man in his 20s was found in the wheel well of a flight to Kennedy Airport from Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Port Authority spokesman Tony Ciavolella said the agency does not keep statistics on how many people try to stow away on planes coming to the New York area, but said it does not happen very often.
