Latest Hurricane Milton: Million people ordered to evacuate as Florida braces for ‘unsurvivable’ storm | American news

US airlines are canceling flights and adjusting schedules as some Florida airports close in anticipation of disruptions from Hurricane Milton.

At least 896 flights within, to or from the US have been delayed and 696 cancelled.

More than 1,500 flights scheduled for Wednesday have already been canceled, according to flight tracking data provider FlightAware.

Orlando International, one of the busiest airports in the US, said it would stop operating tomorrow at 8 a.m. local time, while Tampa International said it was closed today.

Southwest, one of the largest U.S. airlines, said it is adjusting its flight schedule at several airports that are suspending operations, including Tampa International Airport and Orlando International Airport.

According to analysts at Raymond James, Allegiant Air, Sun County Airlines and JetBlue Airways are among the airlines most likely to be negatively affected if Hurricanes Milton and Helene, which recently hit Florida, dampen travel demand.
