At one point Thursday 44 planes were waiting to land at the airport, with no room to unload them and no fuel for departure refills.
Perhaps that's where our recent Op experience might have helped.
Have these other carriers not thought about holding roundtrip fuel for one of the many other unaffected islands nearby instead abandoning dry jets in the stricken airport?

Hopefully, this is just press dribble and none of those aircraft needed the fuel anyway.
