If all the gates are full, for example gate one to seventeen are all full, would the aircrafts go to any nearest airport or do they have to do something?

If they are anticipating a short delay, the airplane will wait for the gate to be opened up... otherwise, the airplane will go over to a "remote parking" area where the pilots can park the airplane *close* to where they want it (without the help of a marshaller) and the passengers will be taken to the airport via shuttle busses, or somthing similar...

Most airlines have maintenance facilities at their major hubs where aircraft can be parked. There is also an area, usually next to the terminals called the apron where aircraft can be parked. If those areas fill up then they could be parked on the taxi ways but by then you would be considering closing the airport to inbound traffic which happens in bad weather

all airports are required to maintain areas for either weather or delay by some aircraft. Some airplanes are parked for many reasons maintentance, gates full, late delays at gate by controllers.

most times the are kept in the air in a holding pattern till a gate opens up..
they might be diverted to another airport if the problem is going to take a while...in a emergency they would just park on one of the taxi ways

They would park at designated spots on the ramp and the passengers would be deboarded or by airstairs and taken to the terminal in shuttle buses.

They would wait on the apron until a gate opened up.
