JetBlue to ISP

[bluejuice]

For all you ISP wannabe B6 landed 2 AC last night at Islip due to weather diversions. (Let the rumors begin) LOL

I was the controller working them in at ISP. JBU176 was the first arrival. He held for 45 min and then diverted here. Inbd from SEA. The 2nd one was JBU24 from TPA. Both planned to refuel and depart to JFK when the TS blow past.

I thought that ISP had a closure at 11PM How did they land. I was in OPs that night and it was close to Midnight that they diverted???

ISP tower closes at midnight. We were open when they landed, but not when one of them left. (One of my co-workers said one of them was still on the ground when he got to work at 6 am)

Wow. Did they bus the passengers to JFK?

From what I understand a lot of the customers had someone pick them up from ISP.The remaining were taken by taxi to JFK as busses were not available. I believe they all recieved some sort of travel voucher for inconvienience
