A JetBlue flight scheduled to land in Westchester Sunday night finally landed on the tarmac in the area after a more than 15-hour delay.
JetBlue Flight 814 bound for Westchester County Airport in Harrison was scheduled to leave Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
JetBlue tells News 12 that Florida had dangerous weather conditions Sunday that resulted in mandatory ground stops, forcing cancellations and delays for many flights to and from Florida.
In an email, a spokesperson from JetBlue tells News 12 the airline has to reposition crew when weather-related system impacts happen. They say most previously assigned crew members end up reaching their legally allowable duty hours. The airline added that it appreciates the patience of its customers as it works to resume normal service as quickly as possible.
