An 11-year-old boy has managed to fly from Manchester to Rome without a passport, ticket or boarding pass.

An inquiry is underway after he ran away from his parents while out shopping and made it through 5 security checks before boarding the Jet 2 flight.

Liam Corcoran has now been flown home.

Several staff involved have been suspended.

Russell Craig is an airport spokesman.

He admits they assumed he was travelling with parents.
