Flight diversion occurs when an aircraft is redirected to a different airport than its original destination. This can happen for various reasons, including bad weather, technical issues, or emergencies. The decision to divert is made by the flight crew in coordination with air traffic control to ensure the safety of passengers and crew. When a flight is diverted, passengers may experience delays and changes in their travel plans. Airlines typically provide assistance, such as rebooking flights or arranging accommodations, to help affected travelers. The diverted flight will land at an alternate airport, which may be closer or farther from the intended destination.
