"Leaders at Orlando Sanford International Airport have decided to keep SFB open until further notice. They are monitoring the track of Hurricane Dorian closely and if it is deemed necessary to close the airport they will issue another release," airport officials said in a news release.
Airport officials previously announced the airport would close at 11:59 p.m. Sunday ahead of Dorian's arrival, but the storm's recent shift in track has changed some plans across Central Florida.
Despite the airport's decision to remain open, all Allegiant Airline flights for Monday and Tuesday have been canceled, airport officials announced in a tweet.
