The crash of American Airlines Flight 587 in New York had a rippling
effect at John Wayne Airport on Monday.
Two Continental Airlines flights were affected by the crash -- Flight
1915 to Newark, N.J., was delayed four hours, and Flight 386 to Newark
was canceled.
The airport also added more Orange County sheriff’s deputies for extra
security.
Flight 1915, scheduled to depart at 7:45 a.m., didn’t leave for Newark
until 11:48 a.m., said Julie King, a spokeswoman for the airline.
The flight landed at Newark International at 4:49 p.m., about six
hours after the airport reopened. It was shut down, along with JFK
International and La Guardia, after the crash.
