Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks. So, they're not ALWAYS diverted to Halifax.
Sorry, made the mistake of reading the whining over in the DUmp and they were yammering about us sending our problems to Canada, etc.
Actually this pretty rare honestly… As in most cases with Diversions if its determined to be a threat or has a pax on the no fly list, the aircraft is routed to the Country First Port of Entry… This is the main reason we hear a lot about Bangor Main.. But here it’s a high jacking, the US Govt will certainly refuse the in coming aircraft entry, and if the 7500 went out in US Airspace we would have fighter jet ready to bring them down (if it comes to that) Since the Canadians were ready they did a good job of clearing the threat… Kudos to the Canadians..
