Dépèche transmise le 23 avril 2011 par Business Wire
ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lambert-St. Louis International Airport is closed indefinitely after severe storm damage on the evening of Friday, April 22.
“We are working with all the airlines to assess damage, at this time we do not believe any aircraft was damaged”
Initially, four people were transported to area hospitals with minor injuries.
All inbound and outbound flights are cancelled at Lambert until further notice pending safety and operational assessments to determine the full extent of damage to the airport complex and the surrounding area.
At this time, it appears that Terminal 1 and Concourse C suffered the most damage from the storm with high winds that blew out up to 50 percent of windows and caused roof damage as well. There is also considerable storm damage at the entrances of the airport and along roadways.
People with scheduled flights or those planning to pick up arriving passengers should not come to the Airport without checking the status of their flights with their airlines.
“We are working with all the airlines to assess damage, at this time we do not believe any aircraft was damaged," said Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, Lambert- St. Louis Int’l Airport Director.
St. Louis City and St. Louis County emergency management teams are assisting with the clean-up of the airport and surrounding areas. The airport will be working around the clock to determine the full extent of damage.
Next Media Update: Saturday, April 23 10 a.m. CDT, at the JoAnne Wayne Conference Room in Terminal 1, Lower Level.
