Unscheduled landing at Bangor Airport (BGR) in Maine on American Airlines 777-300 ER

Flight AA 293 from Delhi (DEL) to New York (JFK) had to make an unscheduled stop due to headwinds for crew change and fuel.
Tried video on 2X zoom - and it suffered in quality and panning... little too shaky. Going back to original resolution next time.

Bangor is a great city. That's where I was born.

Long runway, full air services, customs, medical, police, fire, lodging, dining, Air National Guard, etc. First in, last out, in the northeast U.S. The runway is so long, its a space shuttle alternate.

wow but bangor is not that far from JFK

[@brianmccafferty1470]

Yes it is. About 400 miles.

Why?

[@allaboutairtravel]

Crew timed out had to refuel and get a new crew to get to New York

[@lowenbrau915]

This flight has been stopping in Bangor almost daily for several months now. You could almost call it scheduled because become so reliable to arrive in the morning.

​@Adam McLemore I've been referring to it (tongue-in-cheek) as "American's new DEL-BGR-JFK service."
