Fort Lauderdale airport reopens north runway to daytime flights

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport began using both of its runways again Saturday afternoon, authorities confirmed.

The airport was using only its south runway for all takeoffs and landings all of Friday because parts of the north runway was still under several feet of water.

The north runway reopened to “limited” arrivals and departures around noon, said Arlene Satchell, a spokesperson for the airport. It will only receive daytime flights, between sunrise and sunset.
