Officials at Orlando International Airport say bad weather has prevented the delivery of reserve jet fuel, prompting fears that visitors to the nation’s seventh-busiest airport could face delays.
Airport spokesperson Carolyn Fennell said there have not been any major interruptions and that reserve fuel was being trucked in to Orlando International Airport, the nation’s seventh-busiest airport.
“Today is expected to be a busy day,” Fennell said Monday. “With the fuel moving in, it will be certified and then we will be able to go back to our normal way of fueling. “Storms along the Gulf Coast had prevented the reserve fuel delivery over the weekend. The inclement weather has since lifted, allowing the ships to depart, airport officials said in a tweet.
“If flight disruptions occur, airline contingency plans are currently in place,” the airport officials said on Sunday. “Thank you for your patience.”Airport officials on Monday emphasized that the delay only involved reserves and that the airport wasn’t out of fuel. The airport has more than 1,000 aircraft operating on any given day.
