Tampa and other Florida airports resume operations. Sarasota remains closed

Several airports in Florida resumed operations Friday morning after Hurricane Milton hit the state.

Airports, particularly those in the storm’s path, were temporarily closed earlier this week as the state prepared for another hurricane.

Florida was hit by Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 storm, in late September, two weeks before Milton made landfall as a Category 3 storm.

On Friday morning, Tampa International Airport resumed operations at 8 a.m. local time.

“As always, please check with your airline for the latest flight information,” the airport said in a post on X.

About an hour later, Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers resumed operations.

“We missed you! We are pleased to be able to serve Southwest Florida again. RSW is open and flights are resuming,” the airport announced.

Still, travelers must check with their airline for specific updates before traveling, the airport said.

Sarasota Bradenton International Airport in Sarasota remains closed as officials continue to “assess conditions” and clean up after Milton.
