CHARLOTTE \u2014 Passengers on a Charlotte\u2011to\u2011London flight wound up making an unexpected stopover in Canada last night. <\/p>\n

American Airlines confirms that its 6:40 p.m. departure from Charlotte Douglas had to divert to Gander, Newfoundland, after a medical emergency unfolded mid\u2011flight. <\/p>\n

The unscheduled landing allowed medical personnel to meet the aircraft and address the situation.<\/p>\n

Flight\u2011tracking data shows the plane remained on the ground for roughly two hours before taking off again and continuing to London. <\/p>\n

Despite the detour, American says the diversion was strictly precautionary and necessary to get the passenger the care they needed.<\/p>\n
