Aviation News (General) / Delta Flight taxied during 3 hours after landing before finally reaching gate

(I've been listening to it, and they were on 121.65, so not the best audio.  It was very busy on both ground freqs
several crews timed out, will work on cleaning it up, but the taxi seemed longer than the flight )

New York, NY – Passengers aboard a Delta Air Lines flight arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) on Sunday, December 14, 2025, faced an extraordinarily long delay after landing, with the aircraft spending nearly three hours taxing to its gate.

Delta Flight DL405, a scheduled service from San Francisco, was operated by a Boeing 767-300 aircraft, registration N193DN. The flight landed on JFK’s Runway 31R at 16:29 local time, nearly one hour behind its scheduled arrival time.

However, the journey was far from over for the passengers. Following touchdown, the aircraft began a lengthy and highly unusual taxi to its assigned terminal. The flight finally reached Gate B37 an astonishing 2 hours and 58 minutes after landing according to FlightRadar24.   The three-hour delay on the ground highlights significant operational challenges at JFK on Sunday. While long taxi times are not uncommon during peak traffic or severe weather, a duration nearing three hours from runway to gate is highly unusual for a major airport and would represent a frustrating experience for all passengers and crew involved.

Delta Air Lines has not yet provided an official explanation for the extensive delay, but severe congestion or an unexpected closure of taxiways likely contributed to the extended hold.

Good catch... one note though, regarding the fuel remaining, I'm fairly certain they meant 13,400 LBS of fuel was remaining 😊

Aviation Audio Clips / KCLE 12/15/25 1740Z - FFT2467 A321 Engine 1 Failure on Takeoff from Cleveland

Monday 12/15/25

~17:40Z (12:40pm local) - FFT2467 Airbus A321neo from CLE to ATL calls Mayday on departure from Rwy 24L, stating failure in Engine #1.  Levels off @ 3000ft for return to field.  "188 souls on board, fuel on board 13.4".

Later reports both engines available but maintains emergency status.  "no remaining deficiencies but did have that compressor stall and expect some potential to lose engine 1 again"... "not sure if we hit a bird or what the problem was on that engine 1 ... you may want to look for shrapnel and/or bird pieces, we had no indications and no sign of anything".

24L was closed for FOD inspection (none found); various flights on approach were given delay vectors and set up for 24R, but switched back to 24L, once that runway reopened and FFT2467 inbound for 24R.

~17:49Z FFT2467 reported ready to return to CLE, given turns back to the field and cleared for ILS 24R approach.

~17:58Z FFT2467 landed safely back at CLE on 24R, cleared runway onto taxiway N holding short 24L, remained with Tower frequency, shut down engine 1 for inspection.  Pilot confirmed no indication of fire so no oxygen was deployed in cabin or cockpit.  Once cleared for return to gate FFT2467 reported a brake fault which delayed movement back to the gate area until 18:16Z, switched to Ground after clearing 24L then waited for tug to help with right turn into the gate.

Aviation Audio Clips / JetBlue near midair collision, unidentified USAF a/c, Curaçao FIR near Venezuela

« Last post by noob94 on December 15, 2025, 09:02:30 UTC »

Dec 12, 2025, approx. 2101z

Unidentified USAF air-to-air refueller, involved in US government operations in waters off of Venezuela, nearly collides with JetBlue A320 (Reg. N809JB) operating JBU1112 flight from Curaçao to New York; who then reported having to slow their climb and, understandably, were not happy.

Transmission from TNCC Curaçao Control. An Air Canada flight to Montreal (AC1355) had been only about a minute in front, but was then some distance north-west of the JetBlue flight.
