A dense fog disrupted operations at Charlotte Douglas International Airport on Friday morning. The fog, which began forming around 7:30 a.m., led to poor visibility and a ground stop at the airport, affecting several incoming flights, as reported by WSOC.
Meteorologist Keith Monday from WSOC noted that the fog was particularly dense, impacting flight operations. It intensified after 7:45 a.m., reducing visibility significantly and preventing air traffic controllers from safely managing takeoffs and landings.
A passenger en route to Charlotte shared an image with Channel 9 showing Carowinds amusement park obscured by fog during their flight's final approach. Due to reduced visibility, this flight was diverted to Greensboro instead of landing in Charlotte.
