It remains unclear how the person managed to bypass security at JFK Airport and board the Delta Airlines flight to Paris.

French officials tell ABC News that the woman who allegedly snuck onto a Delta Airlines international flight is a Russian national who did not have valid travel documents to enter the country.

The woman who flew as a stowaway from New York to Paris has been identified as 57-year-old Svetlana Dali. She remains in France after allegedly causing a disturbance on a return flight to the US.
