Police checked CCTV cameras and discovered the boy had managed to get past security and board a flight around heading to Milan Malpensa Airport.
His mum jumped onto a later flight to Italy and was due to be reunited with her son today.
Spanish police confirmed today they had helped locate the youngster after he became separated from his mum and dad.
A source familiar with the extraordinary sequence said: 'They were due to catch Tui flight BY5107 back to London Stansted Airport together at 9.25 this morning but became separated.
'The boy's parents ended up reporting him missing and that led to police intervention.'
A spokesman for the National Police in Majorca said: 'Officers checked cameras in the departures area and saw the teenager had managed to get onto a flight to Milan.
'The airport had already activated its missing child alert system but it was deactivated after it was confirmed the lad was on his way to Italy.'
It was not immediately clear this afternoon how the youngster, who according to local reports may suffer from autism, managed to board EasyJet flight U23762.
Despite a rigorous boarding pass check protocol, he managed to get onto the plane which departed at 9.29am on Monday morning without a valid ticket.

I stayed in a popular hotel before finding a strange man under my bed, I still suffer from PTSD & won't forget his smell

Plus, the cruel reaction she's had from some men HORROR STAY I stayed in a popular hotel before finding a strange man under my bed, I still suffer from PTSD & won't forget his smell Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANY people love to check into a hotel to unwind - but one woman was left horrified after claiming she discovered a strange man under her bed. Natali Khomenk, who lives in Thailand, shared how she had visited Japan on a solo trip in March as she had thought it was a very safe country. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Natali Khomenk found a strange man under her bed when she was in Tokyo Credit: TikTok / @natalisi_ 3 She visited Japan on a solo trip in March Credit: Getty On the first day, she had checked into her hotel and 'everything was fine' and 'looked legit', and she had accessed her room with a key card that only let her on her floor and in her room. She set off sightseeing the following day, but had the traumatic experience upon her return. In a clip on her @natalisi account, she claimed: 'I came back around 7:30 p.m., unlocked my room like usual, took off my clothes, lay down on the bed, and then I noticed a weird smell. 'At first, I thought it was coming from my hair or the bed sheets, but then I realised it was coming from under the bed. 'Jokingly, I thought, 'What if there's a dead person laying under the bed?' 'But when I leaned over to check, I saw a pair of eyes staring at me. I saw an Asian man under my bed.' Natali said she started to scream and jumped to her feet as the man climbed out from under the bed. He then stared at her for three long seconds, and she added: 'Those seconds felt like my life is over.' Speaking to The Guardian, she described him as 'east Asian, between 20 and 30, slightly overweight, a bowl haircut and black clothes.' She said: 'I began to hyperventilate and froze on the spot, unsure whether he was about to jump on me, choke me or even try to kill me.' Hotel slammed for using endangered red pandas to wake up guests by letting cuddly critters crawl into their beds The man then started the scream and ran out of her room. Natali said she immediately called the hotel administration and the police, and they found a power bank and USB cable under her bed. She kept asking the hotel how the scary situation had happened, but they didn't have any answers for her. Natali continued: 'Even more, they suggested upfront that police won't find the intruder because they had no cameras.' As she was understandably feeling scared and unsafe, she moved to another hotel and demanded a full refund the following day. 3 She claims that the police have been unable to identify the man Credit: TikTok / @natalisi_ However, she claims the hotel didn't contact her or send an email with the incident report. She then reached out to Agoda, who she had booked the hotel through, and they offered her $178 (£133) in coupons, which she felt was 'ridiculous', given she had paid $600 (£450) for three nights. After contacting the hotel directly once more, they finally agreed to refund the payment, but said the police hadn't been able to identify the man. She continued: 'The next days of my trip were a nightmare. I couldn't sleep. I was constantly on edge, checking every corner of my room.' EMOTIONAL COMPENSATION Natali eventually wrote to the hotel demanding 'compensation for emotional damage', and asked for $1,600 (£1,200). However, she claims they declined giving her the money as it 'wasn't in their policy.' Now, she's been left wondering how someone could get into her room and that they knew she was alone there. She added to the Guardian: 'I eventually returned to my home in Thailand struggling with anxiety and PTSD. 'I have found it difficult to stay informed about what's happening with my case, and worry that nothing will come of it. But I haven't given up – I'm exploring options so that it can be properly investigated. "Sadly, though, I've also had men write to me, claiming it's my fault or that I just want to denigrate Japan. 'I used to think I was invincible, and that there was more good in this world than bad. Now I'm not so sure.'

Paedo councillor flees Scots home after 100-strong mob swarms street as riot cops called in

Police have released a statement on the incident ANGRY MOB Paedo councillor flees Scots home after 100-strong mob swarms street as riot cops called in Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FIVE people were arrested after a mass protest forced cops to remove a paedo councillor from his home. Scores of locals in Methilhill, Fife, took to the streets last night just weeks after David Graham, 43, was convicted for having sexual relations with a schoolgirl. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Officers rushed to the scene around 4.40pm Credit: Facebook 4 Cllr. David Graham taken from fife council website But the demonstration sparked a major police response when people gathered outside what's believed to be a house linked to Graham, who is on bail ahead of sentencing. Officers rushed to the scene around 4.40pm after the alarm was raised and some yobs allegedly targeted them with missiles including eggs and stones. Footage emerged from the protest showing a line of uniformed cops trying to quell an angry crowd where children were present. One man held cardboard signs reading 'No place 4 a beast' and 'toot toot paedo out'. It's believed Graham was hurried into a police van while being escorted by officers holding riot shields. Officers arrested and charged three men, aged 22, 38 and 47, over alleged disorder. The 38-year-old man was also charged over an alleged assault. They have been released and are expected to appear at court at a later date. A 36-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl have been charged over allegedly vandalising property. Graham was found guilty last month of having sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl. Body of man murdered after he was wrongly identified as paedo lay undiscovered for weeks despite tip-offs to cops The offences took place in the Labour councillor's home, office and car over more than six months. In August 2023, we revealed that he had been arrested and suspended by the party. Chief Superintendent Derek McEwan said: "Violence towards officers while carrying out their duties will not be tolerated and the behaviour they faced last night was unacceptable. "Police officers are also members of the community and it is fortunate someone was not seriously injured. "We understand there are strong feelings in the local area but that is no excuse for violence or disorder. We are particularly concerned with the number of children present last night. "Officers continue to carry out enquiries, including reviewing video footage of the event to identify those who were involved. "There was a protest at the same property on Friday, 1 August, 2025 and officers are also carrying out enquiries in relation to this incident. "My message is that anyone taking part in disorder, or inciting or encouraging others to be involved, should expect to be identified and charged accordingly." 4 A crowd of between 80 and 100 people gathered outside a property on Pirnie Street, Methilhill Credit: Facebook
