The airport is open.

Canceled and delayed departure flights are possible Tuesday morning.

Be assured that the Airport will be open––we take pride in having the runways and taxiways in serviceable condition during winter weather.

how to Find Out About Flight Status

During winter weather many people try to determine a flight's status by finding out if the airport is "open" or "closed." This is the wrong approach. Even when the airport is open, flights are cancelled for other reasons, including: 1) conditions at connecting airports, 2) sometimes airlines cancel flights to avoid the high cost of winter operations, 3) ice build-up on a plane may prevent takeoff, even when airport is open, and 4) sometimes airlines preemptively cancel flights because they expect bad winter weather.

The best way to determine flight status is to call your airline's toll free phone number, or to visit your airline's web site. You can find those numbers and web sites by clicking on the Airlines link.

The Flight Arrival and Flight Departure pages on this web site may provide accurate information about flight status. However, the data on these pages comes from airline computer systems. Unfortunately, the airlines don't always keep the data up to date.

If a flight is in the air, outbound or inbound from our airport, it's very easy to determine its status. Click on the real time Flight View Map (seen below). The data feeding this map comes directly from the Federal Aviation Administration. The only flights that show up on this map are the ones actually in the air.
