American Airlines flight diverts for more than 24hrs.
An American Airlines flight from New York (JFK) to Delhi (DEL) diverted to London Heathrow (LHR) after a passenger medical emergency. The flight couldn't depart because of crew rest requirements, and AA isn't cleared to fly from LHR to DEL. It is unclear what will happen to the passengers and the flight itself, but authorities are working on a solution. The flight was under flight number AAL292, a Boeing 777-300er (N725AN) was used.

this is not making sense, given the medical emergency for the affected passenger and the long inconvenience to the rest of passengers and crew. Where is the supervisor for common sense solution to extraordinary occasions when you need him? How about filing for New York, taking off, and then refiling in the air for Delhi.?

I don't think you can refuel in the air with a passenger airliner, or I misunderstood your comment.
What Patrick is saying, I think, is that they should file a flight plan for JFK, then while airborne, file a change to the plan to replace JFK with DEL as the destination. The fuel requirements would be the same-ish so that wouldn't really be an issue.
correct you are matt....
refiling, not refueling, sorry. I read it wrong. Haha.
But you’re absolutely right about the mid-air refueling.
Same mistake here!
