Published: September 7, 2026, 11:33 am MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FL. The road to South Florida remained frustrating for those traveling to Miami International Airport on Monday, a day after a deadly cargo plane crashed. This coincided with the busy Labor Day holiday weekend. One woman said, “I started in Buffalo, New York, then went to Raleigh, and then from Raleigh we had a seven-hour layover, maybe nine hours, and then I ended up in Denver, made another hour-long layover, and ended up here.” Another woman said her flight was rescheduled three times. The deadly crash on Sunday brought the entire airport to a standstill while first responders rushed to the scene. The most problems arose on incoming flights. Some flights were completely canceled. One leaflet said that she was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for 10 hours. “They said to wait until 5 o’clock to see if we would open again and then they canceled the flight,” she said. By about 10:30 a.m. Monday, there were about 150 delays and 60 cancellations. These delays also impacted flight crews traveling to MIA for flight clearance. 🏠 News from your area Copyright 2026 WPLG Local10.com – All rights reserved.
