Glad we have Canada to divert to after crossing bunch of water and ice in case of (presumed) issues.
Think about that sometimes flying over the continent Africa in the dark, i know there are some ok places to divert to but for the rest...
Years ago diverted to Yellowknife with an engine fire indication, great welcome and support, pax(272) were put up with the locals since hotels are not abundant and the local hamburger joint provided first nite dinner for all of us.
Pax had a great time and continued to Frisco the next day on a spare plane flown in.
Canadian warm welcome even made the news in Frisco.
Thank you
