Immigration: Elderly Passenger

Hong Kong Airport Dept: Hong Kong's English newspaper The Standard reported that a member of the ground staff at Hong Kong International Airport and two former employees are among those accused of helping the young man -- believed to be a Chinese national in his 20s -- to board an Air Canada flight in Hong Kong while wearing a mask that made him appear to be an elderly Caucasian, according to Calgary Herald. The paper reported that a two-month investigation found the man made it through immigration with a genuine passport, then obtained a fake passport and boarding pass in the departure hall before boarding and eight people -- including current and former Hong Kong airport employees -- have been arrested in the case of a young Asian man who disguised himself as an elderly passenger on a flight from Hong Kong to Vancouver, according to a news report. Once in Canada, the unidentified man requested asylum and is still being detained. As reported in the news.
