Richmond, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) - As Hurricane Ian touches down on Florida's Gulf Coast, the Richmond International Airport has cancelled several flights to the state. All flights to Orlando have already been cancelled and the Orlando airport has closed. Flights to Tampa are shut down starting tomorrow.
The timeline on which the flights will resume hinges on the path and severity of the storm's damage. If the hurricane heads north through the Southeast, it could cause damage and travel issues in other locations as well. If it veers back into the Atlantic, however, flights could resume as soon as this weekend.
The best action a traveler can take, according to airport authorities, is to stay informed about their flights for the next several weeks. Monitor your flight status online, and plan ahead in case of unexpected developments.
