    Was tracking this as it was coming into Belfast Intl.
    Any idea what this is all about? :confused:
    That's quite a way to have to turn back!

    Would have to have been a non-urgent issue, e.g. something gone tech but not affecting flight. They'd easily have been able to put a 737 down on Greenland if it was an emergency situation, think Air Greenland operates some larger planes than that even.

    Actually, I think it's just FlightTracker messing about!

    I was aboard an American TransAir flight many years ago from New York Kennedy to Dublin which turned back to Gander about three hours out of New York. The captain mentioned a medical emergency and it turned out that an old lady on board had had a heart attack...
