In light of changing weather conditions, Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) has been closed to arriving aircraft. The terminal will be closing on Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. Passengers are encouraged to contact their airlines regarding flight status.

PBI plans to reopen as soon as conditions improve. Follow our social media channels for the latest updates on reopening.
