The body was found in the wheel well of one of the main landing
gears on flight 202, which arrived at Kahului Airport from
Chicago on Tuesday, United said in an emailed statement. The
airline said the wheel well of the Boeing 787-10 was only
accessible from the outside of the aircraft, and that it was
unclear how or when the person accessed it.
In an emailed statement, the Maui Police Department said it was
“actively investigating" the discovery of the dead body.
Neither United nor the Maui Police Department shared further
information.
The Associated Press called Kahului Airport on Wednesday and was
directed to a public affairs officer for the state department of
transportation. A spokesperson for the department said in an
email that it had no additional details beyond what United had
confirmed.
