Travelers said they aren’t stressed about the change in their plans because of the fog.
“I’d rather be safe than sorry, so I think it was a wise decision not to fly in this bad fog,” said Johnna Peachey Ecklund, a Warner-Robins, Ga., resident who works at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
She was awaiting a flight to Dayton from Atlanta Wednesday night when a mechanical problem with the plane kept it on the ground in Georgia, but the weather in the Dayton area was so bad that it couldn’t land anyway, she said.
A stress-relief dog was trotted out to keep travelers calm, she said.
“We got to pet it,” Ecklund said.
She and a fellow traveler, Jeffrey Martin, also of Warner-Robins, said they would be taking a taxi to Cincinnati tonight and fly to Atlanta from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport on Thursday morning.
The weather also prompted the National Weather Service to issue a dense fog advisory for the region until Thursday morning.
