The airfield and surrounding roads have been pretreated, and CLT’s snow team is working 12-hour shifts to de-ice vehicles and remove snow, the airport says.
The airport overlook is closed until noon on Saturday.
Charlotte isn’t the only city impacted. Thousands of flights across the U.S. have been delayed or canceled.
