Etihad A380 diverted to Iceland

Mon Mar 19, 2018 10:53 am

EY Flight 103 AUH-JFK A6 - APE stands currently on the apron of KEF Airport - a diversion on her way to New York.
Reason is a weak passenger

(Translation of this article from Google translator:

The world's largest plane landed with weak passengers
Airline A380 passenger airline Etihad Airways landed at Keflavík Airport for a short time with weak passengers. The aircraft was traveling from Abu Dhabi to New York. Shortly before the plane arrived at the coast of Iceland, she took a big curve and took the direction at Keflavik Airport where she landed at 8:45.

Guðjón Helgason, Information Officer of Isavia, said it had been decided to land in Iceland after the passenger on board the machine seriously weakened. Airbus A380 is the world's largest passenger jet, which can take up to 853 passengers.)

I assume "weak" is just a poor translation of "sick"

It's the same word in Icelandic which is confusing google translate.

The A380 has just left KEF to continue on to New York.
