Flight stats show it left YYZ 52 mins late as well, but nothing else other than diverted

I'm sure we will see details soon on the "Another somewhat scary one near Winnipeg" thread:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-c...thread-78.html

It's interesting to see on occasion that a diversion heads to the city that is the subject of the thread that reports on all such diversions. Some weird kind of karma with this.

The original delay was due to the late arrival of another flight:

Not sure if that's the case here, as the flight took off again after less than an hour. I also notice that it flew 2:52 hours YYZ-YWG, which looks unusual to me.

Mystery solved: captain at AC1116 just announced that the diversion of 1115 to YWG was a medical emergency.

Amazing... Flight took off again after only 44 minutes on ground: remove the passenger, take statements, another walk around, perhaps add a bit of fuel, do paperwork... Impressive.

Indeed. Although I have to tell you that the turn-around in YQR was around 40 minutes, too, including delays by both the cleaning and baggage-handling personnel.

Incident: Air Canada E190 enroute on Jul 10th 2012, hydraulic leak

An Air Canada Embraer ERJ-190, registration C-FHIU performing flight AC-673 from Halifax,NS to Ottawa,ON (Canada) with 70 people on board, was enroute at FL400 when the crew received a "HYD 1 LO QTY" EICAS message and a low hydraulic pressure indication. The crew actioned the relevant checklists, descended the aircraft to FL280 and continued to destination for a safe landing about one hour later.

The Canadian TSB reported maintenance replaced the #1 engine driven hydraulic pump.

Incident: Air Canada A333 near London on Jul 12th 2012, bleed air leak

An Air Canada Airbus A330-300, registration C-GFUR performing flight AC-849 from London Heathrow,EN (UK) to Toronto,ON (Canada) with 258 people on board, was enroute at FL300 over Wales about 140nm west of London when the crew received an "AIR ENG2 BLEED AIR LEAK" ECAM message. Following consultation with maintenance on the ground the crew decided to return to London and to declare PAN PAN. The aircraft landed safely on Heathrow's runway 27R about 40 minutes later.

The Canadian TSB reported that maintenance could not find any fault during leak checks. Further examination revealed the number 2 bleed air monitoring computer was at fault, the computer was replaced.

The aircraft departed the following day and reached Toronto with a delay of 19 hours.

40 minutes at a scheduled point is good indeed. But, at an unscheduled stop it is truely remarkable.

So god bless Air Canada and the Captain in this case! It could be one of us one day, and the fact they could do all this so fast is a pretty remarkable thing. Kudos to AC.

Let's hope the pax is doing ok.
