JFK has a ground delay in effect since 16:30 hours - now averaging 76 minutes. Flight has landed & after a brief stay on the tarmac, just took off & landed at lower Manhattan's Wall St. Helipad in one of identical 2 USMC copter now. NYPD Avaiation has its own copters up to protect escort along with at least one with DHS calling sign, along with marine resources in the waterway.
This will shift shortly to ground-based frozen zone & street closure on street level - most typically, as when the POTUS is in town, zipping up the FDR Drive to midtown East so everything else will not be moving - while the Fiat convoys are on getting the go-ahead.
