A flight diversion occurs when an aircraft is required to land at an airport other than its scheduled destination. This decision is never taken lightly and is always based on paramount considerations for safety and security. Common reasons for diversions can include severe weather phenomena at the destination airport, such as heavy thunderstorms or dense fog; unanticipated technical issues with the aircraft that require immediate inspection; medical emergencies onboard requiring urgent ground assistance; or security concerns. When such a situation arises, the choice of a diversion airport is critical.
