In that case, the decision for which terminal to use for the arrival clearly was not made based on what the aircraft needed to do next, as there was a gate that could handle international arrivals that was just sitting empty waiting for exactly that aircraft. In the effort to turn the aircraft as fast as possible, surely towing it from B to C wasn't the most effective use of time. Does anyone have any insights as to why that flight would have gone to B instead of C?
