Severe weather causes flight delays over the weekend

FLIGHTS from Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) were disrupted over the weekend as severe weather in Florida caused delays for travellers heading to and from The Bahamas.

Jan Knowles, vice president of marketing and communications at the Nassau Airport Development Company (NAD), said 16 flights were affected by the storm. The Tribune understands that some flights were held up for as long as three hours.

The storm system swept through Florida on Sunday, bringing tornadoes, damaging winds, and heavy rainfall. An EF2 tornado in Seminole County caused significant property damage and power outages, while severe weather forced temporary flight delays at Orlando International Airport. Tornado watches were also issued across multiple counties.
