Warsaw Air Traffic Still Up In The Air
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Warsaw Municipal Airport Manager David Beall thought regular flights would resume Thursday at 10 a.m.
At 9:59 a.m. the Flight Service Center out of Terre Haute decided otherwise.
"It's all up in the air," Beall said of the situation.
While the Warsaw facility is non-controlled and non-commercial, that doesn't mean the planes headquartered there wouldn't be landing at a controlled commercial airport.
Several local industries have hangars at the airport and no extraordinary security measures have been required.
"It's business as usual except there's no business," Beall said.
Having no business began when two airliners crashed into the World Trade Center on Manhattan Island Tuesday morning.
The Warsaw airport received a call from the FAA's Air Control Center in Fort Wayne suspending all flights until further notice.
Beall said some business executives flew in early Tuesday morning and have been "stuck" here until they can fly out again. Other planes usually hangared at the airport remain where they landed.
"They could release chartered flights," he said, but he had no idea of how soon that would be. He is sure the first flights will go out under severe restrictions and business will once again be up in the air. [[In-content Ad]]
