A Georgian national was discovered aboard a flight from Larnaca, Cyprus, to Tel Aviv on Monday evening, October 5, despite not being listed on the flight's passenger manifest. The individual was removed from the aircraft by authorities after being identified during a passenger count conducted by the crew. The Cypriot Civil Aviation Authority has launched an investigation into how the person was able to bypass the final check before boarding the plane. The passenger count, which is a routine procedure performed by flight crew to ensure all passengers are accounted for, revealed an extra person on board the aircraft. According to reports published on October 6 by the Cyprus Mail, authorities acted quickly to disembark the traveler, who was identified as a Georgian national not listed on the manifest. The incident prompted the airport to be placed on alert, highlighting concerns about security procedures. The individual was not without proper travel documentation. She had purchased a ticket, checked in, and passed through security checks. However, the anomaly occurred during the final verification step, which is typically conducted by airline personnel before boarding. According to initial reports from Cypriot media, the passenger intentionally avoided this check to board the aircraft. The exact circumstances of how this occurred are still under investigation. Media outlet Knews reported that the individual had passed all Cypriot authorities' checks, and no obstacles were cited as preventing her from doing so. The flight was operated by TUS Airways, which has confirmed it will conduct its own internal investigation into the incident. Separately, the Cypriot Civil Aviation Authority is looking into how the passenger accessed the aircraft and which procedures were bypassed. While some media sources suggest the individual might have been undesirable in Israel, the reason for this is not yet clear. Available information does not confirm the nature of any potential entry restrictions she might have faced in Israel.
