United and Delta Flights Cancelled, No Night Classes at Kirkwood: Winter Storm Q Delays/Cancellations for Marion and Linn County

I'll keep a running list of cancellations, delays, and other announcements specific to Marion caused by Winter Storm Q.

Update: 3:34 p.m.

From Eastern Iowa Airport:

United has canceled its LAST arriving flights of the day (10 pm and after) and therefore its FIRST departing flights of the morning tomorrow (they are the same plane). Delta has also canceled its LAST flight from Atlanta tonight (8:16 pm) and FIRST Atlanta departure in the morning. We anticipate this being the trend with United, Delta, and American. Note that Allegiant tends to indefinately delay flights since they do not offer daily service.
For up to date information on arrivals and departures, go to our Website (www.eiairport.org) and check the Arrivals and Departures from our home page.
