ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 As federal investigators are examining a deadly crash involving an Amazon cargo plane in Miami<\/a>, passengers in Orlando are feeling the lingering effects of flight delays and cancellations.<\/p>\n

On Sunday afternoon, the aircraft overran the runway at Miami International Airport after arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico. During the landing, the jet plowed across a road used by warehouse workers and other businesses that surround the airport. Five people died, three were critically injured, and two others were hospitalized with less severe injuries, officials said.<\/p>\n

The crash prompted a ground stop at the busy travel hub for much of the afternoon, and many flights were diverted to Orlando.<\/p>\n

As of late Sunday, more than 160 flights were cancelled, and nearly 325 were delayed.<\/p>\n

Cindy Noam was scheduled to fly to Miami on Monday and said her flight was delayed for at least an hour.<\/p>\n

\u201cI received a message saying that my flight might be impacted because of the ground stop, but hopefully they have it all under control now,\u201d Noam said. \u201cIt\u2019s very concerning, but I think it\u2019s safer to fly than it is to drive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The flight disruptions were happening as airports have been busy with travel for Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n

MCO expected 841,577 arriving and departing passengers from Thursday through Tuesday. The busiest day was expected to be on Monday with a projected 78,336 passengers.<\/p>\n

In response to Sunday\u2019s crash in Miami, MCO posted a message on social media about the impact in Orlando.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re currently receiving diverted flights to support operations at MIA and assist our airline partners,\u201d the message said. \u201cTravelers on affected flights are encouraged to contact their airline directly for the latest information and instructions regarding their journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

As someone who was traveling for the busy holiday and mindful of delays, Noam made sure to arrive at the airport extra early.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll tell you, carry on patience. That\u2019s what we need to do is have patience. Especially when you\u2019re traveling on a Labor Day weekend,\u201d Noam said.<\/p>\n
