How is airport transportation affected by hurricanes?
Airports near the landfall of a hurricane are typically shut down and travel from that location is not possible. If the airport is a hub like Miami, this will impact a large region of the US and other areas the airlines serve from that airport. Usually airlines try and get their aircraft out of the airport that will become affected, but if they fail to do so, the aircraft cannot be used for other scheduled flights, which may result in the cancellation of flights completely separate from the hurricane airport. If the aircraft goes through a hurricane, it may become damaged, resulting in the need for repairs before returning to service.
