American Airlines flight from London Heathrow to Chicago just diverted to Reykjavik.

The flight #AA91 departed London Heathrow LHR at 14:17 BST runway 27L for a 8-hour flight to Chicago ORD.

The flight was operated by a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner (registration N829AN).

But 2 hours into the flight, while cruising at 38,000 ft the crew squawked 7700 (general emergency).

The pilots contacted the ATC about a medical emergency on board and requested a diversion to the nearest main airport.

The flight was vectored to Keflavik Airport, near Reykjavik where it landed 2 hours later.

The airline is planning a new departure from Keflavik Airport at 6:55pm local time.
