WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. (AP) — Officials at Bradley International Airport say they will decide later Saturday when they can resume commercial flights.

Airport executive director Kevin Dillon says the airport outside Hartford is still closed for snow removal, but the main runway could handle emergency flights if necessary.

Dillon said they will evaluate at 6 p.m. when the airport should re-open. He said road conditions will factor into the decision because they do not want to encourage people to drive when it's unsafe.

He said there could be flights arriving tonight, but he does not anticipate departures.
