Re: TuQ Arrival
In both these, and many other scenarios where flights are diverted for medical or other reasons, flights are routed to the **closest **possible airport in order to ground the plane quickly and deal with the problem on board. In case of Dr. Tuq, the closest and intended airport was Islamabad, and the govt diverted the flight for political reasons on the ground. Basically they said that we cant deal with the issue on the ground, so go to Lahore.
