News of the second Delta stowaway comes after a Russian woman was caught stowing away on a flight from the United States to France in November.

The person, who boarded the flight without a ticket, was detected as the plane was preparing to take off for Hawaii on Christmas Eve.

Delta Air Lines said it discovered a second passenger without a ticket this month, this one actually getting on a plane bound from Seattle to Hawaii, officials said.

A Hawaii-bound Delta Air Lines flight from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was delayed over two hours on Christmas Eve when a stowaway was discovered by flight attendants just before takeoff, prompting the pilot to make a U-turn on the runway and return to the gate.

The TSA and Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines are investigating yet another stowaway on a flight. The plane was headed from Seattle to Hawaii. The unticketed passenger sneaked on the plane on Christmas Eve.
