This is very alarming, especially with the olympic football already in progress, the UK does not need any security breaches.
An 11-year-old boy boarded a plane from Manchester to Rome on his own without a passport, tickets or boarding pass.
He mingled with families to get through checks in Terminal 1 on Tuesday. He was found mid-air on the Jet2 plane after passengers became suspicious.
The airline said no head count was carried out on this flight and they would now become mandatory.
A Manchester Airport spokesman said a number of airline staff had been suspended.
Transport Secretary Justine Greening said it was "incredibly concerning".
The youngster had been shopping with his mother at Wythenshawe Civic Centre when he went missing.
Staff at the centre were alerted and checked CCTV which showed the boy leaving the complex before he made his way to the airport.
