Memphis International Airport’s Director of Strategic Marketing & Communications Glen Thomas provided an update regarding the status of the airport’s operations during the ice storm that has swept the Mid-South over the past couple of days:
• The airport has remained open for departures and arrivals throughout this winter weather event.• While runways are currently clear, airport crews will continue to work to keep runways clear of ice should the area get additional precipitation.• While the airport is open, the winter weather across the Mid-South is affecting some airline schedules. Passengers should check frequently with their airlines for the latest scheduling information.• The airport’s consolidated deicing facility is active and airlines are performing deicing operations as needed. Deicing photos and video from Monday night/Tuesday morning: https://bit.ly/MEMCDF1-31-23• Due to road conditions, passengers should also allow for extra time to get to the airport. It is recommended that they arrive at least two hours prior to their scheduled departure.
