It diverted to Istanbul this morning, any idea how I can find out why? I'm assuming medical emergency?

TIA

Yes its DXB - MAN so possibly unruly passenger, we do like a drink up here, lol

I couldn't find anything either which is why I asked here, a friend is on back to DXB and delayed so was just trying to find out for her.

TIA Jo

I doubt they'd divert for an unruly passenger. Tie him/her to the seat at the worst.

Probably medical or technical issue.

Get drunk, say the B or H words, walk towards the cockpit, and many a captain could choose to divert.

Well, yes... but that would also apply to somebody who was sober.

Yes just more likely with someone who is drunk and angry at having been cut off:

"Gimme me rum or I'll blow it"
