After ing Infrarica, the concessionaire that manages the airport in Natal, we were informed that a medical team from the airport provided for the enger on the ground and the aircraft left for the destination at dawn. However, it is quite likely that the landing in Paris was due to crew regulations.
People close to the matter informed Portal Aeroflap that a enger had a heart attack and was transferred to a hospital in Natal. The choice of Natal airport over Fortaleza was due to the greater capacity of the yard and its runway, which is one of the few in the country that can receive large aircraft without major restrictions.
Major airlines comply with regulations establishing operational limitations regarding fatigue management for aircrew and air operators. As the flight ended up landing in Natal at around 22:45 pm, data from the Flightradar24 website show that the aircraft took off at around 03:30 am, that is, the plane spent almost four hours on the ground.
