An Air France Boeing 777 flying from Paris to Detroit on May 21, 2026, was diverted to Montreal after US authorities flagged a Congolese national who had been in the Democratic Republic of Congo within the previous 21 days, triggering newly imposed Title 42 Ebola travel restrictions. The incident — the first publicly documented flight diversion under the ban — has intensified debate over the proportionality of country-of-origin travel restrictions for a disease that cannot spread through airborne transmission, while raising unresolved questions about liability, diplomatic coordination with Canada, and the precedent set for future outbreak-related aviation interventions.
