Leon XIV will not fly to Assisi. Doctors made the decision after further examinations.

Pope Leo XIV underwent a chest examination confirming a good post-operative recovery. However, doctors advised against his planned helicopter trip on October 27 due to the recent surgery. He recently left Gemelli Polyclinic after lung cancer surgery and was scheduled to attend a peace prayer event in Assisi, which he will now miss, sending a message of unity instead.
