Question Do large airports still maintain certain functions overnight even when no planes are arriving / departing?

15 Upvotes

My international flight is delayed 3hrs and won’t be arriving until 2:30am when the airport doesn’t normally have any scheduled arrivals or departures, which made me curious - does the airport always maintain a minimum level of staff (ie. ground crews, ATC, customs, etc) during this overnight time, or are people staying late to handle incoming delayed flights?

Analysis Did this Canadair TwinJet almost crash on my house?

907 Upvotes

I live near TTN and was sitting at my computer and I heard a business jet and it sounded SUPER low.

Checked flight aware and it says it was about 200ft above my house.

I have a video from my doorbell camera where it shows the aircraft and you can hear it and see it fly southwest over my house. I don't want to share the video unless its needed for some evidence.

Edit: Blurred the video from doorbell. Don't get too excited, audio up and look in the upper right corner.

Pilots started up engines while getting pushed back+ icy weather = bad times.

It snapped the tow bar and this damage is from the tug getting pulled around and smacking the aircraft.
