Airline staff at Delhi airport foils 12-year-old’s plans

New Delhi: A 12-year-old boy who had run away from his house in Faridabad would have made his way to Bengaluru had it not been for an SMS alert his mother received just minutes after he booked a ticket on a Vistara Airlines flight from Delhi.

The boy was intercepted at IGI Airport and returned to his family. The incident occurred on Friday at around 10pm when the Vistara Airlines staff counter at IGI received a call from Delhi police that a 12-year-old boy would try to board a flight to Bengaluru.

The boy — a Class VII student — had a disagreement with his parents and decided to leave home. He booked the flight ticket using his mother’s card. His parents immediately called Faridabad police upon getting the SMS notification.

The police there informed Delhi police at the airport which sprang into action and asked Vistara Airlines to be alert and detain a minor boy who may try to board flight UK 811 to Bengaluru. The boy was intercepted as soon as he got there and was taken to the IGI police station.
