Unaccompanied teddy causes outrage on Cyprus-bound flight

Passengers on Cyprus Airways flight CY381 from Paris on Monday were perplexed that the pilot decided to fly to Larnaca with an unaccompanied teddy bear on board.

“I cannot understand why the pilot did not see this as a breach of security,” said a passenger who had complained about the matter before the plane took off.

The small bear was brought on board by a member of the ground staff, who asked passengers if anyone had forgotten it at the gate, but nobody claimed ownership.
