A massive winter storm forced the Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger plane to make an unscheduled landing in a small airport in upstate new York about 1 p.m. Thursday. International airport named after John F. Kennedy was not able to take the plane because the visibility was zero because of the snow and all of the runway was covered with snow. Had to land in a modest airport Stewart International 80 miles North of JFK. In 2016, the year Stewart International served about 137 000 passengers at a time as passenger traffic at JFK is more than 29 million passengers a year. The provincial airport for the first time saw such a big plane, so when alighting passengers are having some difficulty finding a suitable ladder. For comparison, the length (wingspan) wings for the Airbus A380 is two times more than a Boeing 737.
On Board forced landing of the aircraft belonging to Singapore Airlines Flight, were 325 passengers traveling from Frankfurt (Germany) to new York.
Overall, the storm at airports new York and new Jersey was canceled more than 3,600 flights, 96 aircraft, the destination of which was new York or new Jersey, were forced to land at other airports.
