"A Delta Air Lines flight to Israel turned around and diverted to Dublin, about halfway through its journey. Flight 234 took off from New York's JFK Airport shortly before 4 p.m. on Monday. It was scheduled to arrive in Tel Aviv around 10 hours later. However, six hours into the journey, the plane changed course just off England's west coast, according to flight-tracking data."
"The Airbus A330 U-turned and crossed the Irish Sea to make for Dublin, where it landed safely. It appears the plane had to turn around due to a medical emergency, according to an air traffic control recording. Delta did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent outside US working hours. Data from Flightradar24 shows the same plane departed Dublin at 5:25 a.m. local time on Tuesday. That's about two hours after it landed in the Irish capital."
Flight 234 departed New York's JFK shortly before 4 p.m., bound for Tel Aviv with an approximate ten-hour schedule. Six hours into the flight the Airbus A330 changed course just off England's west coast and diverted to Dublin, where it landed safely. An air traffic control recording indicates the diversion stemmed from a medical emergency. The aircraft departed Dublin at 5:25 a.m. local time the next day, about two hours after landing. Passengers are expected to reach Tel Aviv around noon local time, arriving roughly three hours later than planned. Prior transatlantic progress limited the overall delay.
