Orlando International Airport announces when flights will resume operation

Hurricane Ian has moved past Orlando, Florida, and the Orlando International Airport is preparing to reopen. Last night the airport shared an update on Twitter regarding when flights would resume operations.

The update reads:

“After conferring with the National Weather Service, airlines, and federal partners, it has been decided that Orlando International Airport will resume passenger flights after 12 pm Friday (9/30/22). Travelers are advised not to arrive at the airport for their departure prior to 10 am, so the airport and partners can prepare working areas to better serve our customers.

This decision was made after a thorough investigation of any property damage and careful consideration for the safety and security of the traveling public and airport employees. All roads leading into airport property and parking facilities will reopen Friday morning.

The airport’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will continue 24-hour-a-day monitoring of airport activities and airport leaders will work with industry partners to determine if any further adjustments to airport operations plans are necessary.

Travelers are advised to contact their airlines and rental car companies directly for individual flight and rental car information.”
