Runaway boy, 11, jets to Rome alone after slipping through security at Manchester Airport

Security staff there scanned him but failed to realise he was on his own and had no boarding card.

Now a full-scale investigation has been mounted by Manchester Airport and Jet2.com into how the boy managed to evade so many security checks and still end up in Italy. It is understood five members of staff working for Jet2.com have been suspended from duty while the investigation takes place.
