Offi­cial Statement: 

As we con­tin­ue mon­i­tor­ing Hur­ri­cane Isa­ias in the Gulf, North­west Flori­da Beach­es Inter­na­tion­al Air­port (ECP) remains open and ful­ly oper­a­tional. The safe­ty of our pas­sen­gers, air­line part­ners and Air­port per­son­nel is our high­est priority. 

Our team is active­ly coor­di­nat­ing with local, state and fed­er­al part­ners, as well as our air­line part­ners to mon­i­tor con­di­tions and assess any poten­tial impacts to air trav­el. Cur­rent­ly, Air­port oper­a­tions con­tin­ue as normal. 

While ECP remains oper­a­tional, weath­er con­di­tions can affect air­line sched­ules. We encour­age pas­sen­gers to stay informed by check­ing direct­ly with their air­line for the lat­est flight sta­tus infor­ma­tion before trav­el­ing to the Air­port. Air­line web­sites and mobile apps will pro­vide the most cur­rent infor­ma­tion regard­ing delays, can­cel­la­tions, or sched­ule adjustments.

We will con­tin­ue to mon­i­tor the sit­u­a­tion close­ly and share updates as nec­es­sary. Thank you for choos­ing ECP. Stay safe.
