US airlines are cancelling flights and adjusting schedules as some Florida airports close in anticipation of disruptions from Hurricane Milton.

At least 896 flights within, into, or out of the US have been delayed, and 696 cancelled.

More than 1,500 flights scheduled for Wednesday have already been cancelled, according to flight tracking data provider FlightAware. 

Orlando International, one of the busiest airports in the US, said it would cease operations at 8am local time tomorrow, while Tampa International said it was closed today.

Southwest, one of the largest US airlines, said it is adjusting its schedule at several airports that were pausing operations, including Tampa International Airport and Orlando International Airport. 

Allegiant Air, Sun County Airlines and JetBlue Airways are among the carriers most likely to be negatively impacted if Hurricanes Milton and Helene, which hit Florida recently, weigh on travel demand, according to analysts at Raymond James.
