Air France flight from Paris CDG to Seattle declared an emergency and diverted to Northern Canada.
An Air France Boeing 787 Dreamliner diverted to Canada on 7 May 2024 8 hours into the flight.
The crew of the flight #AF338 decided to divert to Iqaluit airport (YFB), Canada, following the appearance of a heat smell in the cabin while cruising at 39,000 ft altitude.
The aircraft landed normally in Iqaluit at 11.44am (local time). Customers have disembarked and technical checks on the aircraft are underway.
These checks will determine whether the aircraft can continue its journey to Seattle or whether solutions need to be found to re-rout customers as quickly as possible.
UPDATE 21:15 UTC
Air France flight #AF4191 from Montreal to Paris is cancelled as the Boeing 777-300 F-GSQT will soon leave to Iqaluit to rescue passengers of #AF338 to Seattle.
