A plane travelling from Paris to Seattle has been forced to make an emergency landing in Iqaluit.

The Boeing 787 was diverted to Nunavut’s capital and landed just before noon local time.
Air France says technical checks on the airplane are underway to determine if it can continue to Seattle or whether solutions need to be found to reroute passengers.
The airline says it regrets the inconvenience.
The Iqaluit International Airport is located next to the city and has one asphalt runway.
