Lufthansa A380 unable to land at JFK due to runway too short

too not to
Not sure why ATC couldn’t make a gap and run him in on a visual to 13R. The wind would have played havoc with their spacing anyway.
Visual? At 1/2mile and Ovc003?
On approach to KPHL I heard a tower call that advised of a shortened runway. Wondering if they were aware of that when selecting that alternate. Maybe the extra long runway at Stewart International in upstate NY might have been a better selection
Rwy09R is shortened since 2017 already. It’s been incorporated in Lufthansa’s charts and performance modules since a long time.
Pan Pan Pan and watch JFK comply then like the American 767 did some years ago!
The LH sensibly decided to abandon the idiotic idea of landing into wind and elected to divert, so he had no grounds to call a PAN.
I was not saying THAT! I was saying if the situation arise that LH called PAN you would assume JFK would had given what they (LH) wanted.
Hypothetical and irrelevant.
oh boy! Thats why I keep my mouth shut..................
