Air France Flight Diverted to Montreal Over Ebola Travel Restrictions

An Air France flight traveling from Paris to Detroit was diverted to Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport after U. S. authorities denied entry to a passenger from the Democratic Republic of Congo, citing Ebola-related travel restrictions, according to The New York Times. Earlier reports from ABC News indicated that the passenger had boarded the flight despite the U.

S. travel restrictions linked to the Ebola outbreak. Upon landing in Montreal, Canadian health officials assessed the passenger to ensure public safety. The diversion highlighted the enforcement of health-related entry restrictions amid ongoing concerns about Ebola transmission.
