A body was found in the landing gear of an Air Arabia Maroc Airbus A320 after flight 3O102 arrived at London Gatwick from Tangier on 16 June 2026. The aircraft was met by emergency services shortly after touchdown, and the return sector to Morocco was delayed.
Air Arabia Maroc, Sussex Police and Gatwick all confirmed the discovery and the immediate notification of authorities. Police are investigating and will file a report for HM Coroner. The case points to a high-risk stowaway event in the wheel well, an area that leaves little margin for survival and triggers an AOG-level security and handling review.
