A 13-year-old Afghan boy from Kunduz managed to travel from Kabul to Delhi by hiding inside the landing gear compartment of a Kam Air flight (RQ-4401). The aircraft landed at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport on September 21, 2025, and the boy was spotted by airline staff walking near the plane soon after landing. He was taken into custody by security officials and questioned. The boy said he sneaked into Kabul airport and climbed into the plane's landing gear out of curiosity. A small red speaker belonging to him was found in the landing gear compartment during inspection. After formal procedures, the boy was repatriated to Kabul on the same day on the return flight (RQ-4402). The aircraft was thoroughly checked and cleared after security inspections
