Conditions at McGhee Tyson Airport are being closely
monitored.
They are “not too bad,” said Trevis Gardner, vice president of
operations for Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority. “Our pavement temperatures are almost 35
degrees. Air has risen to 28 degrees. They are improving. There is a light drizzle, and the air
field conditions .. are no worse than wet. There is no ice or snow accumulating. The craft are
de-icing.”
So far, there has been a flight from Atlanta canceled and Delta
has canceled a flight from Detroit.
Gardner said he is posting updates
