NEW YORK: A massive winter storm forced a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight to divert to a small New York airport on Thursday (Jan 4) after heavy winds and whiteout conditions closed runways at its intended destination John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The 325 passengers aboard SIA Flight 26 from Frankfurt, Germany, found themselves on a snowy runway around 1pm local time for more than three hours at humble Stewart International, about 128km north of JFK, CNBC reported.
