Now, after assessing the damage from Hurricane Milton, the airport has announced that departures will resume tomorrow, October 11th. Although the airport will receive a few domestic arrivals on the evening of October 10th, please do NOT come to the airport for a departing flight. MCO urges you to check with your airline for the latest updates as there will be no departures until October 11th.

Additionally, Tampa International Airport will reopen at 8AM on Friday, October 11th. The airport notes that repairs are underway and they are working with partners to ensure staff can return to work safely.
