With many students planning on flying home in time for classes on Tuesday, area airports Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) and Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) says they are expecting most airlines to maintain normal flight schedules in the coming days.
According to Andrew Sawyer, spokesman for RDU, half of today's scheduled flights are cancelled with Delta being the only airline operating. The airport expects most airlines to restore service tomorrow, with their main priority being safety.
In a press release, GSO said it plans to remain open, but it's up to the individual airline to decide whether to continue to operate.
Elon University has free return shuttles to campus scheduled from both RDU and GSO. Students should request shuttles by 2 p.m. Saturday using this form.
The shuttle schedule to both airports is as follows.
Sunday: 2 p.m., 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Monday: 11 a.m., 2 p.m., 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Tuesday: 11 a.m.
