(CNN) - The woman who stowed away on a flight from New York to Paris is still in France but will travel back to the United States on Wednesday. Authorities tried to send the woman back on a flight on Tuesday, but an official at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris told CNN that the airline refused to fly her.

At the largest terminal at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on one of the busiest travel days of the year, security lapses enabled an unticketed passenger to board a plane to Paris in a shocking breach that one aviation expert said should serve as a “wake-up call” for the airline industry.
