A nine-year boy from Brazil has made a solo trip by boarding a flight without tickets, travelled over 2,700 kms on his own without his parents.

Emanuel Marques de Oliveira, sneaks onto a plane travelled alone, but fortunately, he reunited with his parents. His parents have filed a missing complaint in the city of Manaus on last Saturday.

According to Emanuel’s mother, Daniele Marques, her son was in the bed when she awake in the early hours of the morning, but later he had gone missing.

 “I woke up at 5:30 a.m., went to his room, and saw that he was sleeping normally. Then I fiddled with my mobile phone a little and got up again, at 7:30 a.m., and that is when I realized that he was no longer in his bedroom and I started to panic.”, she said.

Emanuel decided to travel alone and went to a nearby airport, where he boarded a plane without a ticket.

Interestingly before sneaking onto the plane, Emanuel googled how to get on a plane unnoticed. Later he managed to board a plane, travelled over 2000 miles on a Latam flight from Manau in the northeast of Brazil to the city of Guarulhos, in the southeast state of Sao Paulo.

His panicked mother spent the whole day wondering where her child was, then she heaved a sigh of relief that Emanuel was safe and he landed on other side of the country.

Local police have requested security camera images from the airport and have initiated an investigation, according to local media reports.

Manaus airport management is investigating how the boy was able to board a plane with no travel documents and no luggage, New York Post reports.

Police have stated that there is no history of violence in the family and that the intrepid boy had simply decided to travel to Sao Paulo to visit some of his other family members.

The cross-country trip comes just two years after a similar story from the US made headlines around the world.

Back in January 2020, Sade Subbs, 15, made it through a TSA checkpoint at the Orlando International Airport with a stranger’s boarding pass. She was later apprehended, telling authorities that “she just wanted to fly in an airplane.”
