Incident: Air New Zealand B772 near Gander on Feb 27th 2009, medical emergency become

An Air New Zealand Boeing 777-200, registration ZK-OKB performing flight NZ-2 (dep 26th) from Los Angeles,CA (USA) to London Heathrow,EN (UK), was enroute about 500nm northwest of Gander,NL (Canada), when the crew declared medical emergency reporting a passenger in need and requested to divert to Gander. The flight was cleared to Gander. About 15 minutes later the crew requested police to stand by upon arrival, as the passenger had become unruly. The airplane landed safely in Gander 66 minutes after declaring the medical emergency.
