Air Canada flight makes urgent landing in Boston

An Air Canada flight made an urgent, unscheduled landing in Boston after the pilot suffered a medical emergency while en route to Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Wednesday. The aircraft departed Newark Liberty International Airport shortly after midday and changed course once Boston airport authorities were notified that a crew member could no longer perform duties. Boston Logan International Airport activated preparations, with emergency personnel placed on standby ahead of the arrival. Flight tracking data indicated the plane landed safely at Logan around 2 p.m., with no immediate injury reports among passengers or other crew members. Witnesses reported ambulances and medical staff responding on the runway shortly after touchdown. One person was escorted from the aircraft and taken to a waiting ambulance. Air Canada and authorities had not publicly released the pilot’s identity or medical details as of Wednesday afternoon.
