Tourists on the Tram? Roosevelt Islanders Are Fed Up.
Good morning. It's Wednesday. Today we'll find out why some Roosevelt Island residents want priority boarding on the tram to and from Manhattan. We'll also get details on former Mayor Michael Bloomberg's endorsement of Andrew Cuomo for his former job. New York is a city where people stand in lines to get into restaurants, to get into Broadway shows and lately even to get onto the unassuming Roosevelt Island tram. Social media discovered the tram several years ago and turned it into a tourist destination, an inexpensive way to take in the Manhattan skyline. Even on cloudy, foggy days, a steady stream of sightseers rides the tram — and on a picture-perfect day, something can happen that was once unheard-of: Lines can form at the tram station in Manhattan, on Second Avenue just beyond the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge. Long lines, some Roosevelt Island residents say. 'Sometimes the lines can be 45 minutes or an hour,' said Anna Zychlinsky Scharff, a physician and researcher in pediatric oncology who lives on Roosevelt Island. 'I have to get to day care to pick up my kid. I don't have 45 minutes.' Residents like Zychlinsky Scharff want what some passengers get at the airport: priority boarding. Paul Krikler, a member of Manhattan Community Board 8 and the chairman of its Roosevelt Island Committee, said that 'fast pass' boarding would let residents and people who work on Roosevelt Island 'go about our regular lives, going to work, school, doctors' appointments and the like' no matter how big the tourist crowds are. The community board approved a resolution in January that called for priority boarding. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

American Airlines flight to Naples forced to reroute because plane was too big for runaway
A Naples-bound American Airlines flight was forced to reroute some 140 miles away because it was too big for the runway — forcing passengers to take a three-hour bus ride to their final destination. American Airlines Flight 780 was carrying 231 passengers to the Italian city on June 2 when the plane made an abrupt diversion over the Tyrrhenian Sea just 40 miles from its destination, according to FlightAware tracking data. The plane was forced to divert to the Rome Fiumicino Airport 'due to operational limitations,' according to American Airlines, which was operating the flight with the larger Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft. 3 An American Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner was forced to divert from Naples on June 2. Getty Images The Dreamliner's wingspan is about 20 feet bigger than the traditional Boeing 787-8 plane that the airline typically flies to Naples. Aviation enthusiast @xJonNYC, who first shared the incident on X, said the Dreamliner was just too large to land in Naples given the airport's requirements for rescue and firefighting services. The regular 787-8 plane, however, fits within Naples' requirements. Passengers were dropped off in Rome at around 9:45 a.m. and put on a bus for the more than 140-mile trek to Naples. 3 The plane was deemed just over the size limit to land at Naples' international airport. 3 The flight ultimately landed in Rome, leaving passengers to take a three-hour bus ride to their final destination. FlightAware 'We apologize to them for this disruption to their journey,' American Airlines said in a statement. The incident was only one of two that saw an Italian trip begin with a rough start last week, with a Ryanair flight to Milan forced to divert on Wednesday due to severe turbulence from a thunderstorm. The turbulence, which injured eight people, ultimately left the passengers stuck in Germany and forced on a four-and-a-half-hour bus trip to Milan.

LA-bound Spirit Airlines flight evacuated over bomb threat in Detroit
A Spirit Airlines flight from Detroit was evacuated Thursday morning over a bomb threat, according to reports. The Los Angeles-bound plane was boarded and sitting on the tarmac at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, when passengers were forced to deplane over the scare, The Hill reported. All passengers were safely removed and taken to a nearby terminal, while law enforcement swept the aircraft for threats and apparently found none. Advertisement A bomb threat was reported on a Spirit Airlines flight. REUTERS 'The Guests were rescreened, and the aircraft was inspected and cleared by law enforcement,' a spokesperson for the airline said. 'The safety of our Guests and Team Members is our top priority, and we are working to get our Guests to their destination as soon as possible.' After eventually reboarding, the flight later departed for LA. It remains unclear exactly where the threat came from, and the incident remains under investigation.
