The extreme weather conditions in New York resulted in the cancellation of the landing of an AUA plane that was supposed to land at JFK Airport. The machine had to turn around.
As AUA spokeswoman Dagmar Wessendorf told APA, JFK Airport informed them at 11:38 a.m. that all parking positions were full. Newark also ran out of free capacities and Washington also had rejections. Therefore, the Austrian plane, which took off on Saturday at 9:58 a.m., landed again in Vienna-Schwechat at 3:46 p.m.

AUA flyer to New York: turning back due to cold spell
Efforts will be made to rebook passengers, but will depend on the weather conditions. The Lufthansa planes from Frankfurt or Munich to New York would have similar difficulties. Due to the failure of the OS87, the machine in New York was also missing to be able to carry out the planned AUA return flight from JFK to Vienna (OS88). Here too, efforts are being made to rebook the passengers.
