However, the harrowing sight was discovered when the United Airlines flight landed at Kahului Airport.

The body was found in the wheel well of one of the main landing gears, the airline said.

“The wheel well was only accessible from outside of the aircraft,” United Airlines said in a statement.

“At this time, it is not clear how or when the person accessed the wheel well.”

The person’s gender or identity have not been disclosed.

United Airlines said it was working with local law enforcement on the incident.

Maui police did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The U.S. Sun.

The police department told Hawaii News Now they are investigating the case.

The incident did not affect United Airlines’ flight operations or Kahului Airport’s procedures.

AIRPORT HORROR

The incident is the latest example of the many dangers airport employees and passengers face daily.

Two killed when Delta plane tire explodes at Atlanta airport with third person rushed to hospital with serious injuries

In August, two Delta Air Lines workers were killed when a tire on a plane exploded while it was being removed.

Mirko Marweg, 58, and Luis Aldarondo Jr, 37, died after the horrific incident at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport over the summer.

ABC affiliate WSB-TV reported that a tire on a Delta Air Lines plane burst as maintenance workers were in the process of changing it at the maintenance facility in Atlanta airport.

Witnesses told the outlet the impact sent metal flying across the air like missiles that had hit workers.

The incident left a third person injured.

Marweg and Aldarondo were described as a Delta employee and contractor.

Marweg, a resident of Stone Mountain in Georgia, a town located about 20 miles northeast of Atlanta, had been employed by Delta for more than two decades. His latest task with the airline was his final job before departing, as per NBC affiliate WXIA-TV.

He was due to retire two or three months after the deadly incident.

Aldarondo, who was from Newnan, Georgia, about 40 miles southwest of Atlanta, was married and had two young children.
