US: Florida airports start slow reboot; cancellations now at 14,000 and counting
A trickle of airline flights to South Florida were set to begin later Monday, but it would likely be many days until air service returned to normal in the region. Flights at Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Orlando remained grounded Monday afternoon as officials assessed damage and worked on plans to restart service. Flights could resume Tuesday at Miami and Fort Lauderdale, though officials warned the restart of airline service would likely start slowly. At other airports, flights may take longer to restart. In hard-hit Key West, for example, flights looked unlikely before Thursday. For the airport near Fort Myers, it was reported “flights in and out of Southwest Florida International Airport are not expected to begin ramping up before Wednesday at the earliest." <br/>
