Air Canada 787 lands at Trenton Sept 18

Post by freakonature »

Rumor has it an A/C 787 bound for YYZ diverted to Trenton due to low fuel on Friday? Can anyone confirm this?

The weather was good VFR all day in YYZ on Friday the 18th. No diversions show up on either Flightaware or Flightradar24.

There is a girl photographer on FB in that region who also got a photo of the 787. Rumour was bad wx?

Pearson went to ground stop due thunderstorms and they didn't have enough gas for CYOW, declared fuel emergency, diverted to Trenton.

Source: listened to it happen on frequency at the time

There were a lot of diversions due the weather. Some went to London, others in to Hamilton, others had enough fuel to wait it out in the hold. One 787 did divert into Trenton.

Run low on fuel?

I thought the 87 was so efficient it ran on unicorn-farts and rainbows?
:rolleyes:
