The U.S. government has opened an investigation into snow removal at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport following a storm earlier this month that snarled scores of flights.
The Federal Aviation Administration is probing the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s actions during the storm Jan. 4-5, the agency said Tuesday in an emailed statement.
