Dan talks with Gene Olson, Director of the Peoria International Airport (PIA), about how - despite major winter storms impacting the East Coast - PIA has maintained a normal flight schedule with minimal issues. They discuss how severe weather has led to thousands of flight cancellations nationwide and explain the aircraft deicing process, which can sometimes cause delays and result in missed connecting flights.

Gene also shares helpful travel tips for passengers, including checking the weather at connecting airports, understanding when rebooking may be necessary, and planning ahead during winter travel. While airline travel at PIA remains in high demand, Gene notes that conditions nationwide can vary greatly depending on location and weather.
