Airport in Gander, N.L., was ready to receive diverted passengers in U.S. flight stop
Gander International Airport prepared to receive passengers if U.S. flights were diverted during a Friday ground stop.
Reg White checked hotel vacancies and arranged for a restaurant to remain open if needed.
The Federal Aviation Administration imposed a ground stop lasting more than four hours because of communications issues affecting air traffic control centres.
The order was lifted without diversions to Gander, allowing the airport’s Christmas craft fair to proceed as planned.
