Diversion! Korean Air Airbus A380-800 Landing RWY 06L and Parking | Toronto Pearson Int’l
Diversion! Korean Air Airbus A380-800 Landing RWY 06L and Parking | Toronto Pearson Int’lHello everyone! Welcome to this video!
For the third time ever, a Korean Air Airbus A380-861 diverts to Toronto for the same reason, weather in New York at JFK. This has happened before in January of 2014, January of 2018 and now, July of 2019.
This diversion was due to weather in the form of rain and thunderstorms in the New York Area. KAL085 was circling for nearly half an hour and did a total of nine or so loops in a hold south east of Lake Ontario. They eventually decided to divert, originally planning Boston and then proceeded straight to Toronto.
I was halfway to Toronto Pearson Int’l at this time catching another aircraft as intended but this one took priority. KAL085 arrived on RWY 06L and parked at Cargo West Stand 501 before choosing to overnight and de-plane the passengers for a departure the next day at planned 1400hrs.
Enjoy the video everyone! Cheers,
Ernest G.
