Flights diverted to Bradley International Airport (BDL) are being redirected due to severe weather impacting New York City, according to BDL spokesperson Brian Spyros.
A ground stop at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) has led to 11 flights being diverted to BDL. The diverted arrivals have been occurring over the last several hours, with at least four of them identified as international services.
The majority of diverted flights originated from JFK, though one or two also came from LaGuardia or Newark Liberty International Airport, Spyros indicated. He noted that airport operations at Bradley have not been disrupted and that pre-scheduled flights are continuing to operate normally.
Weather conditions at the time included heavy thunderstorms affecting Queens, New York, and a tornado warning that had been issued earlier in the day. No further details were released, and the developing story continued with no reported impacts to Bradley’s ongoing operations.
