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.
Online flight data shows the plane departed Pearson around 5:30 p.m. and changed course around 10 p.m.
Fitzpatrick said the plane, which carried 252 passengers, has since landed in Tel Aviv.
