Business Insider: Crazy flight traffic over Florida before Hurricane Irma arrives
There is crazy flight traffic over Florida as airlines hurry to get people out before Hurricane Irma arrives
Air traffic in Florida is reaching new levels as people in the state try to escape before Hurricane Irma hits.
Airports in the state, including Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Key West International Airport, will begin shutting down Friday afternoon and will remain closed Saturday and Sunday. Orlando International Airport plans to cease operations by 5:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Since Wednesday, Delta has added 5,000 seats and an extra 24 flights servicing Florida and parts of the Caribbean. American Airlines added 3,600 seats and 16 extra flights out of Miami. Both airlines have also capped ticket prices to make them more affordable for people in Florida.
