Also if the inbound aircraft is not due to be operated for an outbound for a while (as it sounds like for your case?) it may make more sense to put it on a remote stand rather than tying up one of the few domestic arrival gates for several hours.
Interesting. And I guess moving a plane requires a flight crew, which are in short supply at the moment. So easier to bus the poor passengers? (In this case through A10B which was marked "Gate Closed" to general confusion).
