American Airlines cancelling flights in, out of PBIA

Since Wednesday, Delta has added 5,000 seats and 24 flights servicing Florida and parts of the Caribbean. “It seems like most people had already made their flights or for those whose flights were cancelled, they made alternate plans”, said Moriamo Yusuf.

United also said it would cap fares at $399, but offered no details beyond that. At least 40 airlines conduct commercial flights at Orlando International, including Southwest, Delta and American Airlines.

Florida residents and tourists rushed to Miami International Airport on Friday to catch the final departing flights as Hurricane Irma – a powerful, already-fatal storm with a width is larger than the entire Florida peninsula – bears down on the state. Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher added that some of the players’ families have come up to the area and that the school is making sure they have somewhere to go.
