Eighteen people, including 10 airline workers at John F. Kennedy International Airport, have been charged with international drug smuggling and distribution and will be arraigned in federal court Tuesday.

The case "illustrates how conspiracy to smuggle drugs into the U.S. among airport employees compromised our border security," said Mark Lorenti, a special agent with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in a statement

Delta Air Lines spokeswoman Chris Kelly said the carrier was aware of the investigation and cooperated with authorities.

"The seven Delta employees who are charged are being suspended without pay," she said.
