Well, I had a rather unpleasant experience earlier tonight. On my way to Midway I got a text message that my flight had been cancelled. No problem I switched to an earlier nonstop.
Got to the airport AND EVERY INBOUND AND OUTBOUND FLIGHT WAS CANCELLED.
What's irritating is there is nothing on Southwest's website about a travel disruption at Midway, and there is nothing on any news site that talks about it either.
I figured it might be a national shutdown of airspace, but there's no reference to that that I can find.
What happened??
Solved! Go to Solution.

OK, so apparently several tower employees tested positive for corona virus. So the tower was closed down as was the airport.

Looks like there are a significant number of cancellations at Midway on Wednesday the 18th.
