Alexandria International Airport (AEX) advises airline passengers to closely monitor weather forecasts and the airlines’ flight-status updates prior to planned travel in the coming days. Inclement weather may impact travel conditions, both on roadways and in the air.

“Our primary concern is safety – for all those impacted, as well as that of our facilities,” said Ralph Hennessy, Executive Director of England Airpark and AEX. “Our AEX operations team, along with our airline partners and air traffic controllers, work together to ensure passenger safety, minimize disruptions, and otherwise support travelers. We encourage travelers to stay informed of weather conditions and their potential impacts on flight schedules.”

What Travelers Should Do:
1. Verify flight status – Visit your airline’s website or app for real-time updates on flight status.
2. Plan ahead – Check the weather forecasts, not only for the Alexandria area, but also your destination. Build in extra travel time to the airport and anticipate possible weather-related flight delays or cancellations.
3. Pack essentials – Pack necessary items, such as medications and device chargers, in your carry-on in case of unexpected delays.

In addition to monitoring airline sites, AEX travelers can find arrivals and departures at flyaex.org.
