ORLANDO, Fla. - Flight disruptions continued at Orlando International Airport on Sunday with 60 cancellations reported as of this morning, including 36 arrivals and 24 departures, according to MCO officials.
What we know:
The cancellations follow two days of significant disruptions, with MCO reporting 232 cancellations Saturday and 281 Friday following a nationwide ground stop that was lifted Friday evening.
