That landing was initially expected to occur back at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, but the FAA confirmed itdiverted to Westfield Barnes Regional Airport in Springfield, Massachusettsbefore diverting again to Stewart International Airport in New Windsor, New York, as it burned off fuel for hours in anticipation of an emergency landing. The plane landed smoothly, although the left tires were clearly deflated.
