Air Canada says a flight travelling from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport to Tel Aviv, Israel has completed its trip after being diverted to London as a precautionary measure due to an issue with the pilot’s oxygen system.
Spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick said Monday that flight AC 84 was diverted late Sunday after the issue with the back-up oxygen system was discovered.
He said the oxygen was not in use and that the flight diverted south of Ireland to London’s Heathrow Airport as a precaution.
