We noticed this flight listed from our airport this morning on Flight Aware
flightaware.com/live/flight/AFR435
I don’t think it actually left EVV (it would have made the news)
Don’t get me wrong, we would love to have nonstop service to Paris.
How would this show up? It looks like this flight originates in Mexico and a typical flight path would take it over Evansville.
Could it be caused by a routing change enroute?
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Doug

The entries prior to the above do show a diversion with incorrect destination codes on two of the three. I would say AFR435 did divert to EVV in the wee hours of the morning and the news media haven’t picked up on it yet.
I suggest checking Avherald.com periodically to see if they pick up on it.
Must’ve been a very urgent situation as they chose going to EVV instead of SDF (Louisville, KY)
I’ve seen this happen from my airport KSPI. I think what is happening is, the flight is enroute, and while in flight, a new route is filed. I recently saw an ABX 767 LAX-CVG show departing Springfield (never arrived) to Cincinatti. But, there was WX in the area, and looking at the new route, it fit perfect for a change in route due to WX.
