Some flights have been redirected to Salerno as part of the response plan, and reopening depends on progress.

CBS News provides scene-level reporting around a separate incident, describing a flight instructor and student’s account on the John Wayne Airport runway in Orange County, with responders dispatched as part of an ongoing inquiry. The initial CBS News account labeled the event as breaking news and indicated ongoing coverage from KCAL-TV in Los Angeles.
