A flight from Newark to Halifax, operated by PAL Airlines for Air Canada, had to land in Boston after the captain suffered a sudden medical emergency.

一架由 PAL Airlines 營運、飛往哈利法克斯的紐華克航班，因機長突然發生醫療緊急狀況，必須在波士頓緊急降落。

The incident happened on Wednesday, June 24, on a De Havilland Dash 8-400 carrying 61 passengers. After leaving Newark, the plane began to fly erratically. One passenger noticed that this movement was different from normal turbulence. It was later revealed that the captain had a seizure and lost consciousness. Consequently, the crew followed safety protocols to remove the captain from the flight deck.

該事件發生於 6 月 24 日星期三，機型為載有 61 名乘客的 De Havilland Dash 8-400。離開紐華克後，飛機開始不穩定地飛行。一名乘客注意到這種晃動與一般的亂流不同。隨後揭露機長發生癲癇發作並失去意識。因此，機組人員遵循安全協定，將機長移離駕駛艙。

Because of the situation, a passenger and flight crew members had to use seatbelts to hold the pilot in place for about 40 minutes. During this time, the first officer took full control of the plane. Air Canada emphasized that although two pilots are always required, each pilot is trained to fly the aircraft alone if necessary. Meanwhile, air traffic control cleared a specific runway at Boston Logan International Airport to ensure a quick arrival.

由於當時的情況，一名乘客與機組人員必須使用安全帶將機長固定在原位約 40 分鐘。在此期間，副機長接管飛機的全部控制權。加拿大航空強調，儘管規定必須有兩名飛行員，但每位飛行員都經過訓練，能在必要時單獨駕駛飛機。同時，空中交通管制中心為波士頓洛根國際機場清除了一條特定跑道，以確保飛機能快速抵達。

After landing just before 2:00 p.m., emergency services and paramedics met the aircraft to treat the captain. Following a several-hour delay on the ground, the flight continued its journey and arrived in Halifax before 9:30 p.m. local time.

飛機在下午 2 點前降落，緊急救援服務與醫護人員隨即接機為機長治療。在地面延遲數小時後，航班繼續航程，並於當地時間晚上 9 點 30 分前抵達哈利法克斯。

The aircraft landed safely in Boston, and the flight eventually reached Halifax after the captain received medical care.

飛機在波士頓安全降落，機長接受醫療護理後，航班最終抵達哈利法克斯。
