I was not aware of how our very own Bangor International airport is equipped until this Tuesday , when a plane was diverted here for security purposes.
The flight according to CNN news was coming from France heading to Atlanta Georgia but was diverted to Bangor Maine.A man on the flight claimed to be carrying a bomb/explosive and fake travelling documents.The man is said to have served in the U.S air force.
According ; to Rebecca Hupp,who is the airport Director(CNN video interview) the airport has great facilities and serves as an "diversion point for International flights." International Flights are diverted incase of :security issues,mechanical malfunctionig,unruly passagers and also during medical emergencies.It also serves as a fuel stop for scheduled flight.
Amazing that the such great facilities are located in this small town.
Would never have guessed that Bangor airport was that equiped.The airport runaway is approximately two miles long.
