COMMERCIAL AIRLINE FLIGHTS ARE BACK TO NORMAL AT OMAHA’S EPPLEY AITFIELD, BUT CLEANUP AND RECOVERY OPERATIONS CONTINUE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE AIRPORT.
A TORNADO CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE GENERAL AVIATION PART OF THE FACILTY, WITH SEVERAL HANGARS AND PRIVATE PLANES DAMAGED OR DESTROYED.
THE AIRPORT IS OPEN FOR FLIGHT OPERATIONS, BUT PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE GENERAL AVIATION PORTION OF THE AIRPORT REMAINS RESTRICTED.
