Diverted Plane Stuck On Tarmac For 9 Hours

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Passengers on a flight from El Salvador Monday were forced to wait on a Southern California regional airport's tarmac for nine hours when their plane was diverted from Los Angeles International Airport because of heavy fog.

LA/Ontario International Airport spokeswoman Maria Tesoro-Fermin said the Taca airlines flight finally landed at LAX after spending nine hours on the tarmac.

She says a new crew is staffing the flight because the original crew's maximum flight hours had been exceeded.

The spokeswoman said she did not know how many passengers are on the aircraft or which Salvadoran city the plane had departed from.

Taca's Web site says a flight from San Salvador to Los Angeles lasts about five and a half hours.
