It is anticipated that Hurricane Helene will make landfall along the coast of Florida today as a Category 3 or 4 hurricane. It is anticipated that once it hits landfall, it will slow down and bring high winds and rainfall to the Southeast, which may have a significant impact on air traffic.
It is possible that the storm will cause flights to be delayed or cancelled at a number of major airport hubs, including Atlanta, Charlotte, and Tampa Bay for example.
Travelers are already being cautioned by representatives of the major airlines to verify the current status of their flights before making their way to the local airport.
The majority of major airlines, including American, Delta, United, and JetBlue, have already issued travel alerts for the majority of their flights into and out of Florida, and it is anticipated that these alerts will extend as Hurricane Helen approaches landfall.
