The body of a stowaway has been found in the landing gear of an Air France flight from Ivory Coast to Paris, the airline said.
The lifeless body was found after Flight 703 left Abidjan on Tuesday and landed at Paris's Charles de Gaulle Airport, the airline said in a statement.
It expressed its "deepest sympathy and compassion for this human tragedy".
A French police official said the victim was a young African who has not yet been identified and that an investigation is under way.
Such stowaway attempts are extremely rare and nearly impossible to survive, the official said.
French media reported that the victim was a child migrant, though the official said it was too early to determine the victim's age.
