Air France flight diverted to Montreal after passenger from Congo boarded despite Ebola travel restrictions
An Air France flight bound for Detroit was diverted to Montreal after a passenger from the Democratic Republic of Congo boarded in Paris despite being subject to new CDC travel restrictions related to an ongoing Ebola outbreak. U.S. Customs and Border Protection stated the passenger "should not have boarded" and was working with the CDC to manage the situation. The diversion occurred as the U.S. imposed new restrictions limiting entry points for Americans returning from affected regions.
