Planes scheduled to land at OIA were diverted to other airports. The airfield suffered serious damage during Charley, with roofs torn off from three of the four airsides and rubble covering the surrounding tarmacs and taxiways. The first flights were not likely to depart until late afternoon at the earliest. Airport director William Jennings said flights wouldn't depart until debris was cleared and electronic security equipment tested. He urged travelers to check with airlines before heading to OIA. Meanwhile, Orlando Sanford International Airport grappled this morning with the fact that it had become an unofficial shelter for up to 3,000 stranded travelers who opted to weather the storm in the terminal. Airport officials declined food and water from the Salvation Army and Red Cross shortly before Charley hit, then found themselves facing dwindling supplies and hungry refugees after the storm had cut off any potential for help. At Orlando Executive Airport, up to one-third of the planes were flipped upside down, said Orange County Chairman Richard Crotty. That airport primarily services private aircraft, business executives and civil aviation.
