9/26/2004 - 9:10pm - Flights Set To Resume at Orlando International Airport at Noon on Monday

ORLANDO, FL- Passenger flight service is scheduled to resume at approximately noon Monday, September 27, 2004 at Orlando International Airport, following an area all clear from weather activity associated with Hurricane Jeanne.  However, passengers with scheduled flights should contact their airline for the latest flight information.  In addition, airline ticket counters will not open until 10:00 a.m.  

The decision for a noon schedule resumption was established following a meeting between airline personnel and airport staff earlier today.  After evaluating and assessing the facilities and airfield, we are confident that recovery activity will allow the airport and most of our partners to resume operations by noon on Monday commented C.W. Jennings, Executive Director for the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.
