After two incidents in the last two years in which travelers were stranded for several hours on a Bradley International Airport runway during a storm, the Connecticut Airport Authority has announced plans to get passengers off planes quickly in such situations.
As reported, the plan will address the short comings that led to issues when 29 planes got dumped on Bradley during the October storm
- creating a new sterile area with 2 refurbished gates in the unused terminal B w/bathrooms & supplies.
- better and backup communications
- Policy changes from all the 3 lettered organizations to allow this

Also reported was the plan was put into effect during a diversion during a January snow storm

Terminal B is supposed to be torn down and replaced, funding permitting, so this is temporary, but it's temporary to the extend that the state doesn't have the funds for the terminal B project either.
