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.
