For the past two days people are struggling at the Duluth International Airport. The thick fog caused flight cancellations where several planes turned around seeing the troublesome weather.

Barton Schalburg, a Duluth Resident, said the thick fog caused flight cancellations for five planes arriving.

“I started this process October 10th. I think it’s been 5 to 7 delays between yesterday and right now,” Schalburg said. “It’s been a struggle. I feel real bad because there some people here, they got a lot farther distance than I’ve got to go.”

The weather plays an unpredictable role in tracking flight information. Although the Duluth International Airport Authority has some tips to stay informed.

Natalie Baker, the Director of Communication and Marketing with the Duluth Airport Authority, said arriving early is the ideal whenever traveling.

“A piece of advice I would give travelers would be to check with your airline before arriving to the airport,” Baker said. “be sure to arrive early just in case anything may arise.”
