Flights to Orlando cancelled, but Disney World remains open despite Hurricane Milton’s approach [Video]

FLIGHTS TO ORLANDO, Florida have been cancelled tomorrow and Thursday due to the arrival of what could be the fifth-strongest storm to ever hit the United States.

Residents in Florida’s gulf coast are bracing for the impact of the storm as near-record winds are expected to hit the region which is still reeling from the effects of Hurricane Helene just 12 days ago. 

Orlando International Airport will close to commercial flights at 8am tomorrow (1pm Irish Time), with a hurricane warning in place ahead of Milton making landfall in Florida tonight.
