Call Ahead Before Flying from PTI
The Airport will be open, but flights may be canceled.
PIEDMONT TRIAD, NC, January 20, 2026 –Passengers planning to depart from the Piedmont Triad International Airport during the significant winter weather event predicted for the coming weekend should call their airline before leaving home to ensure their flight is operating.
“The airport will remain open throughout this severe weather event,” said Kevin Baker, the Authority’s executive director. “However, airlines may cancel flights because of the storm’s system-wide impacts.”
PTI snow crews will be on duty and will work around the clock throughout the event to keep the airport operational throughout the event.
If conditions deteriorate significantly, vehicular access to the building’s upper (departures/ticketing) level curbsides may be closed. In this case, all vehicles will be routed to the terminal’s lower (arrivals) level, better protected from the weather.
Passengers should also be aware that the top level of the parking deck may close. All passengers wishing to park at the airport should enter the parking deck at the lower level.
Airport roadways will be maintained continuously, but passengers should use appropriate caution and drive carefully both at the airport and on their way to and from the airport.
“Please be safe”, Baker said.
The Piedmont Triad International Airport is owned, operated, and managed by the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority. The Airport Authority is governed by a board of directors representing three cities, Greensboro, High Point, and Winston-Salem, and two counties, Forsyth and Guilford. The Airport, located off Bryan Boulevard, is the center of North Carolina Aerospace.
