The Dubai-based airline, the Middle East’s biggest, said the stowaway was found in the cargo hold of Flight EK303 from Shanghai on Friday, May 27. “We are cooperating fully with authorities in Dubai and as this is a police matter we are unable to comment further at this time,” the airline said in an emailed statement. It did not give any details on the identity or condition of the stowaway, though China’s official Xinhua News Agency said he was a 16-year-old boy it identified only by his surname, Xu. He tried to make the risky journey because he had heard that beggars in Dubai could earn hundreds of thousands of yuan annually, the news agency reported. Dubai police and the Chinese consulate in the Mideast commercial hub did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press. Xinhua reported that the consulate has sent staffers to the airport to learn more about the situation.
