DL337. Bahamas won't allow landing
On the tarmac, word was Bahamian immigration wouldn't let someone on this flight in. Diverted to MIA, waiting there are vehicles with emergency lights. Could be interesting night, but with granddaughter and would have rather be check-in to hotel right now. They indicated not letting the whole plane in.

Got update as I was reading. No clearance yet. Thank you.
2 stories. Passenger originating outside the US. The other is one came from or through Mozambique, this concern with disease
They had EMT on to check that passenger vitals
A First for me! Lol

First I've heard of this happening. I guess it comes up rarely since most international flights can't simply be told "return to sender" by the receiving country (e.g. JFK-LHR can't well turn around while over Ireland). I would have thought they would normally have just bounced the pax in question.

Passenger must have felt unwell. They asked/saw passenger had been through area of infection and refused to let them in till checked out. EMS wouldn't have showed up at MIA if passenger wasn't unwell.

No pax was removed after all that, about a 3 hour sit at MIA. The pilot said discussions at the highest levels...
Traveling with my 8yo granddaughter who took it all in stride, much better than the woman behind me who was sighing, guffawing and slamming the tray back into place.

The people behind us had packed a cooler of food and began offering meat and cheese to my boys saying how well they were doing.
