The pilots declared an emergency and diverted to the nearest airport. This happened to be in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/residents-in-canadas-far-north-are-terrified-of-losing-amazon-prime-2017-7">Iqaluit</a>, the capital of Canada's Nunavut territory, which has a population of less than 8,000. <keyword id="21651089" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Iqaluit" source="keywords">Iqaluit</keyword>, formerly known as Frobisher Bay, lies in the region sometimes known as the Canadian Arctic, though the city itself is just outside the true Arctic Circle. Data from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/f-gsqt">Flightradar24</a> shows a different plane was rerouted to rescue the passengers. The Boeing 777 was scheduled to fly from Montreal to Paris, but that flight was canceled. Nearly 11 hours after the passengers had landed in Iqaluit, the 777 departed for New York. CBC reported that passengers will be rerouted from New York as soon as possible. Flightradar24 shows the 777 was scheduled to fly from New York to Seattle early Wednesday morning, but this flight was canceled. In a statement sent to the travel news site Paddle Your Own Kanoo, Air France said it "regrets the inconvenience caused by this situation and reiterates that the safety of its customers and crews is its absolute imperative." The 787 Dreamliner is still in Iqaluit. CBC reported that it is grounded while crews investigate what caused the burning smell. Last December, 270 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/delta-air-lines-passengers-stranded-remote-canadian-town-technical-problems-2023-12">Delta Air Lines passengers had to sleep overnight in a Canadian military barracks</a> after a diversion. Two more planes landed to bring them back on course. Correction: May 10, 2024 — An earlier version of this story misstated Nunavut’s designation. It’s a territory of Canada, not a province.

On Tuesday, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/canada/iqaluit/historic">temperatures</a> peaked at 37 degrees Fahrenheit and were below zero at times.In a statement posted on social media, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/air-india-airbus-a350-soon-flying-us-jfk-photos-2024-7">Air India</a> said the flight was "the subject of a security threat posted online."According to an X post from Canada's Minister of Emergency Preparedness, Harjit Sajjan, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://x.com/HarjitSajjan/status/1846357138480005566">the flight was subject to a "bomb threat."</a> Sajjan added that 211 passengers were on the flight.One passenger who was scheduled to take a different flight out of Iqaluit on Tuesday shared pictures of the plane and what appeared to be passengers waiting in the airport, saying that a local musician had been brought in to entertain people while they waited.Air India, the Indian flag carrier, noted that it and other <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/i-was-on-bomb-threat-flight-akasa-air-analyzed-handwriting-2024-7">Indian airlines have been subject to a number of threats</a> recently that have all turned out to be hoaxes."As a responsible airline operator all threats are taken seriously," Air India said.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A British Airways flight lasted nine hours but ended up back where it started after a technical issue.</li><li>The Boeing 787 reached Newfoundland before turning back across the Atlantic to London Heathrow.</li></ul>Dozens of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/british-airways-boeing-777-new-york-london-economy-review-2024-3">British Airways</a> passengers endured a nine-hour "flight to nowhere" after crossing the Atlantic twice.Monday's Flight 195 took off from London Heathrow for Houston about 30 minutes late, per data from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/ba195#359b9ec8">Flightradar24</a>.After five hours, the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-787-flies-passengers-antarctica-historic-flight">Boeing 787 Dreamliner</a> reached the coast of Newfoundland — but only as it began to turn around.Four hours later, the jet was back in London, having flown around a 4,600-mile round trip.In a statement shared with Business Insider, a British Airways spokesperson said the flight returned "as a precaution due to a minor technical issue.""We've apologized to our customers for the disruption to their journey," they added.British Airways has also rebooked them onto the next available flights, provided hotels, and details on how to claim for other expenses.Going all the way back across the Atlantic may seem like a strange decision, but the problem was minor enough to allow it to reach Heathrow, where BA has a maintenance facility.For both passengers and the airline, that's likely preferable to a diversion to northern Canada.Last December, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/delta-air-lines-passengers-stranded-remote-canadian-town-technical-problems-2023-12">Delta Air Lines sent three jets to rescue passengers from a remote military base</a> in Newfoundland and Labrador.The flight had diverted there following a technical issue, but freezing conditions and limits on how long the flight crews could work left passengers stranded there for over 24 hours. The 270 passengers stayed overnight at the military barracks.In a similar incident, an Air France flight from Paris to Seattle was <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-787-diverted-to-canadian-arctic-flight-canceled-to-rescue-them-2024-5">forced to divert to Canada's far north</a> last month. Another flight had to be canceled in order to rescue the passengers from Iqaluit, the capital of Canada's Nunavut territory, which has a population of less than 8,000.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A Lufthansa Airbus A350 diverted to Luanda, Angola, after suffering an engine issue on Saturday.</li><li>Passengers were stuck on the plane for hours after landing, and their passports were confiscated.</li></ul>On Saturday, 271 Lufthansa customers were stranded in Luanda, Angola, after their Airbus A350 aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing, the carrier confirmed to Insider on Monday.The jet was <a href="https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/d-aixe/#2e6a75a0">flying</a> from Cape Town, South Africa, to Munich, Germany, when the plane suffered a "technical irregularity in an engine display" and diverted to the Central African nation, per Lufthansa. "The cockpit crew then decided to shut down one engine for landing as a precaution and to land in Luanda with priority status," the airline told Insider. "The aircraft landed safely. Safety on board was not compromised at any time."<a href="https://twitter.com/flightradar24/status/1599029596720189440">According to data from Flightradar24</a>, the plane squawked 7700, which <a href="https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/squawking-7700-in-flight-emergencies-from-a-pilots-perspective/">means there is an emergency</a> and the pilots need immediate assistance from air traffic control.The Aviation Herald, a commercial aircraft accident and incident reporting publication, <a href="http://avherald.com/h?article=501e4562&amp;opt=0">reported</a> on Monday that the plane was still on the ground in Luanda 20 hours after landing and will need its left engine replaced. Lufthansa told Insider it sent a team of technicians to inspect the aircraft.<a href="https://www.n-tv.de/panorama/Lufthansa-entlaesst-Urlauber-nach-Notlandung-ins-Chaos-article23761881.html">According to German news channel NTV</a>, the Angolan military confiscated the passengers' passports in Luanda because they did not have the proper entry documents, and passengers were stuck on the plane for hours before being allowed to disembark. The airline told Insider the passengers were given a hotel room, where they "were looked after around the clock by Lufthansa staff." It further explained each customer was rebooked within 48 hours. However, NTV reported some passengers were offered flights for days or even weeks later, but Lufthansa told Insider that all passengers will have left by Monday — three days after the diversion to Luanda."The first passengers [left] already on Saturday, the remaining passengers fly [Monday] with LH561 via Frankfurt to their destinations," the carrier said. LH561 is a <a href="https://flightaware.com/live/flight/DLH561">regularly scheduled</a> flight that Lufthansa operates three times a week.According to Lufthansa, it did not send a rescue flight to retrieve the passengers. <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?postID=638e4495c4cc6f15ca6e7465&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Femile-myburgh-5814751%2F%3ForiginalSubdomain%3Dza">Aviation attorney Emile Myburgh</a>, who was involved in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SouthAfricaInBrazil/videos/update-on-the-repatriation-flight-from-sao-paulo-to-johannesburgdepartment-of-in/533181927345594/">repatriation flight between South Africa and Brazil</a> during the pandemic, told Insider that the airline would need permission for a rescue, making it difficult to quickly send an empty plane, but it is not forbidden by Angola.This is not the first time this year an airline has landed in less-than-preferred diversion airports.

Rafi Letzter/Tech InsiderAmazon Prime is vital to residents of Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada.Residents in one of Canada's northernmost cities are terrified of losing Amazon Prime, <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/iqaluit-amazon-prime-1.4193665">CBC News reported.</a>In Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavit territory, Amazon Prime keeps food on the table, according to the CBC. Even accounting for the government subsidy program Nutrition North, everyday household and food items cost drastically more in stores in Canada's northern regions than in their wealthier southern counterparts.The region's food insecurity problem has become so drastic that one report said it <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/food-insecurity-1.4122103">should be considered a "national crisis."</a> For example, <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/nunavut-food-price-survey-2016-1.3650637">a five pound bag of flour</a> in 2016 cost shoppers around $10.63 in Nunavut, but on Amazon Prime <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pillsbury-Best-All-Purpose-Flour/dp/B005EOTMA6/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=grocery&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1499728946&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=flour">the same amount of flour</a> cost just $2.39.Some Nunavit communities outside of Iqaluit lost their Amazon Prime deliveries when Amazon re-evaluated its remote location shipping in 2015, CBC reported. But the company left Iqaluit unscathed.Many in the area believe Iqaluit may have survived due to the large number of orders the town places on Amazon Prime, according to the CBC. But they worry it may not be enough. Canada's far North regions are notoriously expensive to ship to due to fuel costs.Chatelaine Magazine posted the video below about food costs in Iqaluit in June 2015. "It would be very, very bad [if Prime stopped delivering], I don't want to say pandemonium, but maybe something akin to that," local resident David Marineau-Plante told CBC News.Iqaluit's post office is one of the busiest in Canada. According to CBC, of the 88,500 packages the office delivered in the first five months of 2017, around 80-90% of them were likely from Amazon Prime.CBC said that <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/nutrition-north-inac-report-1.4093664">a May report</a> from the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Office found that most locals do not believe the country's Northern Nutrition subsidy program is enough to keep food affordable. However, the same report did not list any solutions or steps the Canadian government would take to address the growing problem. <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hacker-explains-password-managers-online-security-privacy-video-2017-6">A hacker reveals the most secure thing you can do to your passwords</a></h3> Please enable Javascript to watch this video

On Monday night, he was finally cleared to play, but after a blistering offensive start to the game, Durant suddenly went down to the floor with another injury in the second quarter and needed to be helped off the court.At first, the Toronto crowd celebrated Durant's injury, but in a show of great sportsmanship, the Raptors players on the court immediately scolded their behavior, imploring their fans to stop cheering the injury of their opponent. The fans seemed to answer the players' request and wound up giving Durant a standing ovation as he left the court.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/raptors-players-kevin-durant-injury-standing-ovation-2019-6" data-analytics-position="5">Raptors players told their fans to stop heckling Kevin Durant after he re-injured his calf and it ended in a standing ovation for the Warriors superstar</a>Still, it was clear that the Raptors' fans initial reaction to seeing Durant on the floor stuck with the Warriors, who called out the fans for their behavior after the game.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/demarcus-cousins-raptors-fans-trash-cheering-kevin-durants-injury-2019-6" data-analytics-position="3">Warriors players call Raptors fans 'trash' and 'classless' for celebrating Kevin Durant's injury</a>But some Raptors fans have now decided to take their image into their own hands, <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/hey-toronto-help-support-kd039s-charity-foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">setting up and donating to a GoFundMe campaign</a> that is raising money for Kevin Durant's charity as a way of apologizing to the injured Warrior."On behalf of the level-headed and true fans of Raptor Nation - from Toronto to Vancouver to Iqaluit to St. John's, and any fans living outside Canada: we wanted to say 'sorry,'" <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/hey-toronto-help-support-kd039s-charity-foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reads the campaign's introduction</a>.
