400 flights a day is 16-17 per hour and those are going to be mostly during the day. As someone else points out there is a ~6 hour stretch overnight with no scheduled departures. That's somewhat common even at large hubs.
I don't want to blow your mind but if the airport closes there aren't going to be any controllers in the tower.
- pbhjpbhj 7mo agoI accounted for 'closed' hours. Hence 22/h. The incident in question was close to closing time, but there were 2 issues, one a declared emergency. Likely, the problem was with truck 1 wishing to get to the emergency quickly. There was at least one queued landing hence the go-around demand after the crash. It doesn't blow my mind, but at a major air hub like LGA I'm surprised there isn't a controller on site for callout?
