A Delta Air Lines Boeing 767-300 had to taxi for nearly three hours after
landing at New York John F. Kennedy Airport last Sunday before reaching a
gate. Operational problems at the airport due to the winter weather were the
cause.
 
The aircraft, registration N193DN, had already departed San Francisco that
morning with a nearly hour and a half delay. After a flight of over five
hours, the 767 arrived in New York. The airport has been experiencing winter
conditions for some time, which, combined with a staff shortage, is leading to
handling delays.
 
Because departing aircraft are waiting longer at the gate, there is a shortage
of available parking spaces for incoming flights. As a result, the 767 had to
taxi across the apron for nearly three hours before space became available.
Other incoming flights also faced similar delays.
