Air Travel Slowly Returns to Normal Post Florence

As former Hurricane Florence continues to dump rain and wind on the Carolinas, flights to and from the region are slowly starting to operate again.

According to FlightAware.com as of 9:30 a.m. ET, more than 3,700 flights have been canceled as a result of the storm since Wednesday. Several airports in the region remain closed as more delays and cancellations continue to be announced.

In total, less than 200 flights were canceled in the United States Monday morning.

Flights in the region started again Sunday as airlines began flying to and from Charleston International Airport and Myrtle Beach International Airport in South Carolina, as well as the Fayetteville Regional Airport in North Carolina.

Other airports in North Carolina impacted by the storm are still dealing with flooding, power outages and other issues, including Coastal Carolina Regional Airport, Wilmington International Airport and Albert J Ellis Airport.

Airlines continue to operate near full capacity at Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Raleigh–Durham International Airport in North Carolina. Carriers are assessing damage at other smaller airports as they prepare to begin offering flights again.
