Ebola travel rule triggers Montreal stop on US-bound Air France flight

A Paris-to-Detroit Air France flight was diverted to Montreal after a passenger from the Ebola-hit Democratic Republic of Congo boarded the plane in error, amid US entry restrictions for people who have recently been in the region. The diversion, confirmed by US CBP, was taken as a precaution to prevent entry into the United States, with passengers later remaining on the same aircraft to complete the journey. The ongoing Congo Ebola outbreak has prompted international health measures and travel screening.
