Daytona Beach International Airport:  Daytona Beach International Airport sustained minor damage from Hurricane Matthew. There are portions of the airfield that contain standing water. The terminal and airfield lighting are operating on back-up generator power. The terminal is currently without air conditioning. The air traffic control tower and navigational equipment are operating on a backup generator with limited capabilities. An airfield assessment is ongoing to determine if it is safe to open the taxiway and runway surfaces.  
"Our top priority is the safety of the traveling public," said Airport Director Rick Karl. "At this point, there are too many variables that make it difficult to determine when the airport can safely open but we are targeting the afternoon of Saturday, Oct. 8."
