The AirSafe.com News has a new post up, Airline Travel Issues and Hurricanes. Dr. Todd Curtis of AirSafe.com reviews some of the steps that air passengers should take if a hurricane or tropical storm approaches. He also provides some useful links, including the FAA Flight Delay Information page where you can easily view delays at a number of U.S. airports.

The Air Transport Association issued this statement:

“ATA and its member airlines are closely monitoring Hurricane Gustav as it enters the Gulf of Mexico. ATA member carriers serving airports in the storm’s projected path have begun communicating with passengers on policies regarding easing of travel restrictions as well as how passenger travel plans may be affected. And, as in the past, ATA and its members will remain diligent in monitoring weather developments and adjusting operations as necessary in order to serve customers and coordinate fully with federal, state and local government authorities and airports.”

The ATA has a webpage with travel updates and carrier announcements concerning the hurricane.
