Many airports around Central Florida and the state suspended commercial operations because of threats of hurricanes.
Hurricane Milton wreaked havoc on Florida as it landed on October 11, 2024. Several states and Central Florida airports took precautionary measures to suspend commercial operations before the hurricane's arrival. The predicted high winds and heavy rains, which could present serious risks to both aircraft and passengers, were the main factors in the decision to close the airports.
The suspension of commercial flights caused severe disruptions, including flight cancellations, delays, and reroutes. Numerous airlines offered flexibility and travel advisories to passengers impacted by the hurricane. As a result, thousands of people experienced long travel delays or were left stranded.
In addition to being a vital safety measure, airport closures brought attention to local communities' difficulties when natural disasters strike. Disrupted transportation services can affect businesses, tourism, and everyday life, among other areas of the economy.
