- A Lufthansa flight from Argentina to Germany experienced significant delays, resulting in a journey that lasted almost an entire day.
- During the flight, one passenger fell ill and required medical attention approximately 5 hours into the journey.
- As the flight crossed the Atlantic, the crew reached their maximum duty time, leading to an enforced stop in France.
A Lufthansa flight experienced an eight-hour delay on Tuesday due to two diversions caused by a medical emergency, as reported by Simple Flying.
The journey from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Frankfurt, Germany, originally expected to last 13 hours, took a total of 21 hours, according to flight tracking data from Flightradar24.
Approximately 5 hours into the flight, near the northern coast of Brazil, a medical emergency occurred on board, resulting in the plane turning back and landing in Natal, Brazil, confirmed by a Lufthansa spokesperson.
The flight then continued across the Atlantic Ocean, but safety regulations meant that the Lufthansa crew was approaching their maximum allowed duty time, leading to a necessary crew change at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport.
After a prolonged flight of nearly 24 hours, the Lufthansa jet finally landed in Frankfurt, less than an hour away from its destination.
Considering the 5-hour time difference, passengers spent over a full day traveling from South America to Europe.
