Atlanta airport official talks Ian cancelations ahead of storm hitting Georgia

Atlanta airport officials are monitoring Tropical Storm Ian as winds are picking up near coastal Georgia.

But as a precaution, more than 100 flights coming in and out of Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International airport have been canceled, according to the real-time statistic site Flight Aware.

Andrew Gobeil is an airport spokesman and he joined WABE’s “Morning Edition” to discuss what precautions the airport can take early on, where the numbers stand with flight cancellations and if those will persist through the weekend.
