AAL new york- zurich emergency landing in Halifax, NS
HALIFAX — An American Airlines flight with 210 people on board has made an emergency landing in Halifax after an apparent electrical fire in a cabin washroom.
Peter Spurway, a spokesman for the Halifax International Airport Authority, says one person was taken to hospital after the plane landed safely at about 8:30 p.m. local time.
He says the passenger jet was en route to Zurich from New York City when the crew declared an emergency and diverted to Halifax.
Spurway says the fire is believed to have started in a ceiling fan in a mid-cabin washroom. The remaining passengers have left the plane safely.
