The man was found in the landing gear compartment by staff after it had flown a two-and-a-half-hour flight from Oran to Paris's Orly airport.

An airport source told AFP news agency he was suffering from severe hypothermia when he was found.

He was not carrying any ID, prosecutors said, so his age is unclear.

Some French reports say he is believed to be aged between 20 and 30, while others say he is as young as 15.
