An unidentified man is found dead inside the landing gear compartment of an Air Arabia aircraft that has arrived at London Gatwick Airport. The plane is reported to have come from Tangiers/Morocco, and airport staff discover the body in the wheel or landing-gear area after the arrival.
Following the discovery, an inquest is reported to be opened into the man’s death, with authorities treating it as a matter requiring formal examination. The outlets describe the same core details: the person is found within the wheel arch or landing gear compartment, the flight is identified as Air Arabia, and the aircraft arrives from Morocco. Differences are limited to how the location is described (landing gear compartment versus wheel arch/wheel compartment) and the specific wording of the origin (Tangiers versus Morocco), rather than any materially different account of events.
Investigations proceed as officials seek to determine how the man entered the aircraft and the circumstances surrounding his death.
