Confusion among passengers on a United Airlines flight from Athens to Newark Airport in New York when a Boeing 737 aircraft diverted to Reykjavik Airport in Iceland.
Passengers on the flight were inconvenienced because they were not informed of the change. At this time, the Boeing 737 aircraft is flying over the Atlantic to the airport in Iceland's capital Reykjavik.
According to reports, the reason for the change of course and the diversion of the direct flight from Athens to New York is the injury of one of the pilots in Greece.
According to reports, one of the United Airlines pilots had broken his leg in Athens and the flight was diverted to Iceland for a new pilot to board.
However, the passengers were not informed and as a result there was confusion inside the aircraft with reports suggesting the possibility of mechanical failure.
For the given diversion of the United Airlines flight, which is reflected on websites that record airline flights and in-flight changes, there is no official information from the Greek Civil Aviation Authority and those in charge at "El.Venizelos" airport.
