AC83 TLV/YUL diverted for a medical emergency: RMKS/DIVERTING DUE MEDICAL EMERGENCY FLIGHT DIVERTED TO ATH DUE TO PSGR MEDICAL EMERGENCY
Based on FR24, it looks like AC85 left the gate in TLV, taxied to the runway and then turned around and returned to the gate. I would guess a mechanical issue.

An Air Canada flight that experienced a suspected hydraulic issue landed safely at Kelowna International Airport on Saturday morning.
The flight, Air Canada 8215, originated out of Vancouver and was en route to Cranbrook with 50 passengers. The plane, though, was diverted to the Okanagan because of the problem.

Whoops... what is it with AC pilots and accidentally entering taxiways?

I've been flying onto NRT for at least 4 years and don't recall seeing these. It would be interesting if they were newly painted as a result of the misadventures of AC 5.
Can anyone confirm if they saw these too? (Sure, I could ask on the NH forum but it wasn't one of their birds and I can't cross-post)

I arrived at NRT yesterday on NH (cnx later to AC) and as we were taxiing to gate 42, I saw these things.

AC1793 - YQB-YYZ - rouge A321 - 20AUG2018
I was scheduled to fly on AC1793 this morning at 1020 out of YQB this morning. The flight was delayed by 1 hour despite the fact that the aircraft was sitting at the gate. Right as they call boarding zone 1, I get a text message on my phone advising that this flight was cancelled. Sure enough, after processing 2-3 pax, the GA stops boarding and announces that the flight is cancelled due to a smoke smell in the cockpit. Maybe someone with EF can pull up more details?
They have now delayed and upgauged AC1795 to a rouge 763. This flight now leaves at 16:15 so I have plenty of time to enjoy Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars in the lounge. Yeah, I take solace in the small things.

Incorrect. EF is only useless for looking up reasons AC flights were cancelled. I have pulled up cancellation reasons for DL/AA/UA flights with no issues. There should be no surprises here, AC is not known for transparency.

What makes you think AC is doing this purposely to minimize transparency?

You can see remarks with proper comments/notes right up until the moment the flight is cancelled in the system. Once the AC flight is cancelled, all comments are replaced with the generic BRD/OFF POINTS REQUIRED comment. (Based on my own experience.)
