A teenage boy has been found alive after stowing away in the landing gear of an aircraft that travelled from Nairobi to the Netherlands, via Turkey and Britain.
The 16-year-old, who is understood to be from Kenya, was discovered by ground staff at Maastricht Airport in the Netherlands shortly after the Airbus plane touched down on Thursday afternoon.
Remarkably, he appears to have survived the entire 8000km journey but was rushed to hospital suffering from severe hypothermia.
Officials in the Netherlands were last night trying to establish where and how he managed to board the aircraft, which was an Airbus A330 Freighter.
