Out Of Control Crowd at JFK

MYFOXNY.COM - Port Authority police officers had to help control an angry crowd at the Delta Air Lines terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Tuesday.

The PA says the police had to help maintain order and help customer service representatives that bore the brunt of the anger.

Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman told Fox 5 that it took less than an hour to get things completely under control.

The weekend snowstorm has left many people stranded in New York.  Some people had flights rescheduled days later than their original itinerary, forcing them to miss cruises and other vacations.

Many of the affected people were connecting through New York and simply had nowhere to go.

A Delta Air Lines spokeswoman told Fox 5 that the situation was resolved and the airline is trying to accommodate all passengers.

Newsday cited a source as saying the problems started when a flight to Haiti was overbooked.

Delta operates flights out of Terminals 2, 3, and 4 at JFK.  The airport is one of Delta's hubs and the airport is considered the busiest international gateway to the United States.
