Lightning damages runway at Orlando Sanford International Airport

Flights resume after delay

SANFORD, Fla. – A lightning strike damaged a runway at Orlando Sanford International Airport on Tuesday, prompting several flights to be diverted.

The runway has since been fixed and all operations are normal, a spokesperson for the Federal Aviation Administration said.

The runway was closed for a short time, but it reopened by 9:08 p.m., an airport spokeswoman confirmed.

The flight diversions and delays were due to the weather and the runway problems.
