Air Canada flight ACA825 diverts to Dublin Airport with medical emergency aboard

ADS-B data reviewed by SkyMeter shows Air Canada flight ACA825, an Airbus A330-300 registered C-GEGI, departed Madrid Barajas (LEMD) at 12:37 UTC on June 23, 2026, originally bound for Toronto Pearson (CYYZ). The flight diverted to Dublin Airport (EIDW) due to a medical emergency on board, according to airlive.net.

The aircraft lifted off heading southwest at 207 degrees, then turned right through west and north before settling onto a cruise track. It reached a maximum altitude of 37,746 feet and a peak ground speed of 535 knots during a cruise phase that lasted roughly three hours.

The recorded ADS-B track shows the initial descent toward Dublin beginning at approximately 17:02 UTC, with the aircraft tracking eastward on headings between 75 and 79 degrees. The flight held near 30,500 feet through much of the early descent before losing roughly 15,000 feet in about eight minutes between 17:25 UTC and 17:33 UTC. The descent steepened further, with a recorded vertical speed of 5,820 feet per minute as the aircraft passed through approximately 4,200 feet at around 17:41 UTC. The track then transitions to a stabilized approach, and the aircraft touched down and taxied in, with the track ending at 180 feet MSL and 3 knots, consistent with Dublin's field elevation, after a total tracked flight time of about 319 minutes.
