WEATHER AND DELAYS

Airlines, FAA air traffic controllers and pilots determine the delay, cancellation or re-routing of flights. Inquiries about the number of impacted flights and passengers should be directed to individual airlines, as they are the parties responsible for the information.

Adverse weather conditions could affect airport operations due to airfield conditions, visibility or other reasons. The airport does not close during most inclement weather conditions. At times, there may be an interruption in operations in order to clear snow and/or ice from the runways or ramps. Atmospheric conditions, navigational equipment, aircraft equipment, pilot qualifications, aircraft de-icing, ground movement and terminal gate availability all impact decisions to have flights delayed, canceled or re-routed to other airports. Only during severe weather would the runways close for any extended period of time. Flights may be delayed or canceled due to weather at the flight destination or in other cities. The terminal would remain open unless damaged or other safety concerns warrant closing all or part of the terminal. Some airlines or the FAA may delay arrivals or departures until visibility and conditions improve.
