Cancellations and closures are already piling up across the Florida peninsula due Hurricane Ian.
Airlines, airports and the federal government are bracing for aviation infrastructure to take a major blow from Hurricane Ian. Cancellations and closures are already piling up across the Florida peninsula.
Miami International Airport was open on Wednesday morning, according to a notice on the airport's website, although some flights have been delayed or canceled. FlightAware data showed more than 1,900 cancellations nationwide by early Wednesday. Orlando, Miami and Tampa airports were the top three trouble spots, with cancellations also mounting at Fort Lauderdale International Airport and Southwest Florida International Airport.
"Before any storm hits, we prepare and protect air traffic control facilities and equipment along the projected storm path so operations can quickly resume after the hurricane passes to support disaster relief efforts." "Our in-house weather forecasting is a powerful tool to aid in ops decision making, but equally important are the conditions of ground infrastructure after the storm passes," Delta spokesman Morgan Durrant told CNN.
