This led to an extended delay while air traffic control (ATC) and airport operations looked for a way to solve the problem. The aircraft was rescued after a tug was dispatched to its location and pushed it back to the junction from which it could head back to the gate.

Boarding flights in the United States is a hot mess… it’s a little different than in Japan ! Airlines have tried to commoditize the boarding process as much as possible (by giving people an incentive to earn status, pick up a credit card, or outright pay for priority boarding), while doing little to actually enforce the boarding order. It seems that American Airlines actually has a plan that will see the airline enforcing its boarding priority, and I kind of love it.
