Here’s How Albany International Airport Keeps Flights Coming and Going During the Winter Weather

If you ever wondered how things stay running smoothly at Albany International airport during periods of winter weather, here's how they keep you moving.

Traveling during the winter months can be a little bit stressful. Storms can develop after months of planning for a getaway and throw off all of your plans. Hearing that there is going to be potential snow fall on the ay you're taking off from the airport may cause you to be a bit anxious.

According to JetFinder, planes don't stop flying just because it's winter. Pilots and crews take special precautions to be sure you're going to fly safely. Deicing is an important part, and they note that snow falls below cruising altitude, so you'll be well above a storm if there is one.

Do flights get cancelled or delayed when it comes to snowy weather? Yes, that can happen if there is significant snowfall or there are visibility issues for taking off and landing the plane. But the good folks at Albany International Airport have special crews to be sure things are operating as smoothly as possible when that weather hits.

There are dedicated and talented crews who work hard to clear areas - including the apron, taxiways, and runways of snow - but also deice aircraft, and complete many more tasks to make sure the clocks remain running on time.

As many of us prepare for some trips during February break here in the Capital Region it is good to know that the airport is doing all they can to make sure we don't have to miss out on any potential fun in the sun.
