Officials announced that John F. Kennedy International Airport was closed Sunday morning because of inclement weather. The announcement came shortly after a plane that had landed at the airport skidded while exiting a runway.
A freezing rain advisory is in effect for much of the tri-state area.
The FAA said Delta Connection 4100, which originated in Toronto and was being flown by Endeavor Air, landed on runway 22 at the airport at 8 a.m. and slid in the snow as it was moving toward a taxiway. No injuries were reported, and the FAA is investigating.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport, said customers should check with their carriers before making travel plans.
