"When all other private aircraft were grounded,..."
Except for the government airplane that delivered Hilliary Clinton and Upchuck Schumer to La Guardia Airport in NY late in the afternoon on 9/11 This was probably necessary so that these pimps of the election industry would not miss out on some publicity photo ops!
The landing and deplaning was covered live by a NY television station. The commentators were puzzled since it had been stated all day that EVERY plane had been immediately grounded.
Planes that were in flight at the time were ordered to land at the nearest airport. Read about the overwhelming hospitality that the people of Nova Scotia extended for many days to the passengers of many incoming flights, from overseas, that were interrupted.

Canada Remembers 9/11 Attacks, Gander, Newfoundland Praised For Taking In Stranded Travellers
"Gander was one of several Canadian communities that sheltered thousands of people on about 200 international flights that were diverted when the U.S. closed its airspace after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon."
"The people were so kind to us. There was nothing that we had to do for ourselves. Everybody kept asking us: 'What can we do for you?'"
