Hurricane Milton Update

Wednesday, October 9, 2024

All airports on the west coast of Florida are closed. Local officials have announced that PBI will close at 9:00 PM. However, FLL and Miami will be fully operational. Miami is expected to receive one inch of rain, and the highest winds are expected to be between 20 and 30 knots tonight from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM.

There will be some flight cancellations in Miami today and tomorrow due to airspace closures in the Gulf. Forty-five planes will remain overnight in Miami.

Please keep in mind that if legs cancel in your sequence, contractually, the company can split you back on to your sequence at the point you are legal.

Stay safe,

In Solidarity,
