The body was discovered in the one of the compartments that houses the airplane’s landing gear when United Flight 202 from Chicago O’Hare International Airport landed at Kahului Airport on Tuesday afternoon, according to the airline’s website. No further details about the deceased person were provided.
United said it was working with authorities on the investigation. The Federal Aviation Administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
While the fatality rate for most wheel-well stowaways is high, some people have survived the ordeal.
A person was found alive in the undercarriage bay of an Algerian carrier’s aircraft in Paris last year. In January 2022, a stowaway was discovered alive in the wheel section under the front of a Cargolux freight plane that arrived at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport from Africa.
