If you’re traveling through the Orlando Airport, you might want to check the status of your flight. Now check it again. One more time? Flight delays and cancelations are pretty common these days — especially in Central Florida!
Orlando Airport
The weather has been a little, well, rough lately, and we’ve got an important update to share regarding departures out of the Orlando International Airport.
During our visit to Magic Kingdom on August 21st, we noticed some scary-looking clouds around 3:30PM. We’re no meteorologists, but that doesn’t seem like the kind of cloud that you want to be near when it starts raining.
That looks scary! ??? pic.twitter.com/RRxxnxx3WA

Around that same time, Orlando’s local NBC news affiliate WESH News reported that a ground stop was issued for Orlando Airport.

The Federal Aviation Administration reported that “Departures to Orlando International are grounded due to thunderstorms.” The current probability of extension is listed as “medium” (30-60%), but the ground stop is expected to end at 4:30PM.

FlightAware is currently reporting 83 total delays and five cancelations at Orlando Airport. We expect that number to increase throughout the late afternoon as the ground stop continues.
