Milton: Air Travel Information

As the storm approaches, several Florida airports are set to close.

Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for the latest flight information and updates.

• Tampa International Airport said it planned to stop flights at 9 a.m. Tuesday and restart when it’s safe to do so and all damages can be assessed. Airport officials said it is in an “A” evacuation zone and not a shelter for people or their cars.
• St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport said it is in a mandatory evacuation zone and will close after the last flight leaves on Tuesday, remaining closed through Thursday.
• Orlando International Airport will cease operations starting at 8 a.m. on Wednesday.
• Southwest Florida International Airport in Lee County, Florida, will operate no flights Wednesday or Thursday.
• With both not currently in Milton’s path, Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport will remain open, but officials are monitoring the storm’s movements.

Wes Atkins with the National Weather Service is at the FAA and says we're likely to see a growing number of delays, cancellations, even ground stoppages at those South Florida airports: Miami, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood or Palm Beach International, as weather conditions get worse the closer Milton gets to our state.
