Stowaway found dead in wheel well of Irish-registered jet

A man has been found dead in the wheel well of an Irish registered passenger jet at a Moscow airport.

It is believed the Airbus A330-300 jet may have made as many as seven flights before the man’s body was found by aircraft maintenance personnel.

The grim discovery was made on Thursday after iFly Airlines flight H5-9716 arrived at Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport from Rimini in Italy.

The man had a Georgian passport in his pocket identifying him as 22-year old Giorgio Abduladze.
