To avoid a repeat of the Sichuan teenager who stowed away on a plane bound for Dubai last month, the Civil Aviation Administration of China will launch a special aviation security evaluation of Shanghai Pudong International Airport, ThePaper.cn reported.
All applications for additional domestic flights, chartered flights and new routes from the airport will be suspended, and the listed Shanghai International Airport Co Ltd will be subject to an administrative penalty, the CAAC said.
On May 26, a 16-year-old surnamed Xu sneaked into the airport and stowed away on an Emirates Airline flight, arriving in Dubai more than 9 hours later.
After his arrest, Xu told police that he had made the trip because of an online rumor that said beggars in Dubai could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan every year.
