Why wouldn’t they let them off the plane in Newark? Wow. Although the video did make aborted landing attempts a bit melodramatic. “Crazy path”. Lol.

I had that one time when JFK had a thunderstorm over the airport and we diverted to (HPN West Chester Cty).
Had 5-10 passengers that lived in that area and wanted off. The station wouldn’t let us deplane them so they had to go with us to JFK when it opened back up. Never received an explanation why they couldn’t but maybe something to do with security.

Couldn’t that be construed legally as kidnapping? Keeping you against your will?

It didn’t make a lot of sense to me. The passengers didn’t care that their bags couldn’t be off loaded in HPN either. HPN is a crowded airport and we’d often have to wait on a gate to open. On this divert they parked us across the airport at the FBO quite a ways from the terminal. The door never opened so we sat there until we could depart for JFK.

One flight I had we had to divert to Akron, OH because of weather and a closed rwy at Pittsburgh. I had 6 pax whose ultimate destination was Akron, we were parked at the terminal so I was able to let them off. We were delayed a little over 2 hours and we picked up 10 pax going to Pittsburgh. So it worked out OK I found out later that most connections were made in PIT.
On another flight that I had to divert on we originated in Canada going to Boston and diverted to Manchester, NH, can't remember why on that flight. We had to park at the FBO and had security around the plane as we were international and not in the 'secure area of the terminal'. All of this was pre 9-11

Once coming back from Monterrey Mexico to ATL we were instructed to hold. After awhile we decided to divert for fuel and told dispatch we were going to MGM. He had me standby, then said ATC will bring you in to ATL. So that worked out well but only because we were coming from Mexico.
