Hurricane Wilma Puts Damper Travel At DIA

Many Airports In Florida Closed

POSTED: 10:13 am MDT October 24, 2005

Hurricane Wilma may have weakened to a Category 2 storm, but its 110 mph winds are still wreaking havoc across South Florida.

They also wrecked the plans of some travelers trying to get in or out of Denver International Airport.

The FAA closed more 14 airports in Florida Friday while Frontier has grounded flights to and from Cancun -- and arrivals from Fort Myers.

Delta Airlines is the only airline expected to be flying to that city today, and United hopes to resume service to Miami and Fort Lauderdale as soon as the airport reopens.

Rick Boxer and his family were supposed to leave last Friday for Cancun, but decided at the last minute not to go because of Wilma.

The storm slammed into Cancun on Friday, and assaulted the Caribbean coastline for two days.

The family was able to change plans, though, and left Monday for Cabo San Lucas.

The airport at Cancun sustained heavy damage from Hurricane Wilma and was not expected to reopen until at least Wednesday.

Travelers whose plans include Florida or Mexico-bound flights from DIA were urged to contact their airlines.
