Overview
- The Boeing 737-800 operating as American Airlines Flight 3057 to Charlotte partially left the paved taxiway after deicing at Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport.
- About 90 passengers were on board, and all were taken by bus back to the terminal with no injuries reported.
- The aircraft remained disabled pending towing and inspection to determine whether it could depart.
- The FAA said the crew made a wide turn while exiting the deicing pad and became stuck due to snow in an area where the agency does not direct aircraft.
- Monroe County and airport officials said the airfield was clear of snow and ice and that weather was not believed to be a factor, with the cause still under review.
