News Center 7’s Malik Patterson talked to people stuck at the Dayton International Airport Sunday evening.

Some people said they are struggling to find accommodations.

Dava Abdu is in Dayton for a business trip.

He had a flight out of DAY on Sunday morning to Orlando, Florida. It has since been rescheduled to Monday morning.

Abdu explained what the staff told him.

“It was like two times delayed, like one hour, one hour,” Abdu said. “They cannot warm up the engine, something like that. They need to switch the airplane for tomorrow at 9 a.m.”

He said others were given hotel discounts and other accommodations, but there are no ride-share or taxi drivers to take them there.
