Airliners are on their own with no air traffic control at a Florida airport for 12 days after FAA staff contracted COVID-19

The air traffic control tower at St Pete-Clearwater International Airport in St Petersburg, Florida is closed until January 31.Allegiant Air is the main carrier at the airport that also sees high general aviation and private jet traffic.

These closures have become common during the pandemic but have rarely lasted for 12 days, as is the case in St Petersburg. Most cleanings take a few hours, if that, with the FAA saying they've gotten the protocol down pat to minimize disruptions. The Airbus A320 family aircraft utilized by Allegiant will now have to contend with general aviation without the help of air traffic control when departing from and arriving at the airport. Air traffic controllers at nearby Tampa International Airport will help coordinate aircraft under a "one in, one out" policy.

There are Air traffic controllers managing that airspace, it just won't be nearly as efficient.
