ROMULUS, Mich. – Detroit Metro Airport has reopened after a temporary closure triggered by the winter storm moving through Southeast Michigan on Friday night.
The FAA ordered a ground stop around 7:30 p.m., and the airport announced it would close at 7:45 p.m., with hundreds of flights either delayed or cancelled.
The ground stop was lifted at 11 p.m., and the airport has since reopened, but travelers should expect serious delays through the morning as snow continues to impact travel in the region.
