Uncertainty in aviation after Air France flight to Los Angeles turns back mid-Atlantic

The change of destination occurred just two hours after takeoffMechanical problems with an aircraft are not as unusual as one might expect, although most do not require immediate repair or prevent the aircraft from reaching its destination normally. However, there are times when the strangest situations occur on board, as was the case on a flight from Paris to Los Angeles International Airport.

Air France flight AF22, which departed from Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and was destined for the US city after 11 hours and 35 minutes of travel, was only able to complete its first two hours of the journey. The aircraft, a Boeing 17-777ER, turned around in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.While one might expect some explanation from the airline or the crew to the passengers, they remain uncertain because, despite the fact that several days have passed, the causes of the strange incident have not yet been detailed.
