Winter storm Niko grounded 75 flights at Orlando International Airport across multiple airlines as of 10:30 a.m. Thursday morning.
JetBlue is currently the worst affected with 34 flights cancelled this morning. Southwest, one of the airport’s largest air carriers, is ranks second with 13 flights grounded.
Other airlines affected include American, Delta, Spirit, Frontier, and United.
Flights to the following destinations, across all the affected airlines, have been cancelled: Washington, D.C.; Boston; New York; Baltimore; Philadelphia; Providence, R.I.; and Hartford, Conn.
Niko is expected to dump up to 18 inches of snow in some parts of New England. The storm will continue moving west to east across that section of the country, having started in western Pennsylvania and parts of West Virginia around 4 a.m.
It will continue moving toward the mid-Atlantic and rest of New England through the day Thursday.
In advance of Niko, many airlines have posted travel alerts warning passengers their flights could be cancelled. Airlines have also offered to waive re-booking and cancellation fees as a result of the storm.
Passengers traveling for Orlando International Airport should check their flight status with the airline before arriving at the main terminal.
