An Air France Boeing 777 flight (#AF378) bound for Detroit was forced to divert to Montreal International Airport after US authorities denied entry due to a passenger suspected of carrying a contagious virus, possibly Ebola, originating from Congo. Passengers and crew were reportedly concerned during the mid-flight change in plans.
Last-minute Diversion
The flight departed France as scheduled but was rerouted to Canada halfway through after US officials raised health concerns about a passenger.
Health Safety Measures
Flight attendants, visibly worried, handed out masks to all passengers and wore masks themselves amid whispers of a viral infection on board.
Passenger Concerns
Those on board expressed alarm and frustration at the airline’s lack of clear information about the reason for the urgent change.
Landing In Montreal
The aircraft safely touched down at Montreal International Airport, where health authorities were expected to assess the situation and the passenger involved.
