Florida residents are just starting to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. As they do, airports that had closed for the storm’s duration are reopening.
Airlines are resuming some flights, but anyone flying to or from the region should check with their airline for updates. In many cases travel alerts and change fee waivers have been extended for travel originally scheduled through October 12.
Here are some of the airport updates as of late Thursday evening.
After assessing the damage to its facilities, Tampa International Airport (TPA) announced plans to reopen at 8 A.M on Friday morning.
Orlando International Airport suspended operations Wednesday and will resume some flight operations on Friday as well.
St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) closed Tuesday afternoon after the last flight departed and remains closed “until further notice,” according to a Facebook post on Thursday.
Miami International Airport (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) are open, but there are still many flight delays.
