Latest reports indicate that heavy snow and subzero temperatures in western Europe closed at least four airports Wednesday, including Gatwick, one of Britain’s busiest.
Edinburgh airport in Scotland, Lyon-Bron airport in southeastern France, and Geneva, Switzerland’s second biggest airport, were all closed as staff struggled to clear the runways.
The European air traffic control authority Eurocontrol also reported severe delays at Berlin’s Tegel airport and in northern Spain.
Swiss weather agency Meteosuisse forecast more snowfall throughout the day as a low-pressure front centered over western Europe moves slowly eastward.
It may also be noted that Finland’s national carrier Finnair cancelled more than 200 international and domestic flights Wednesday on the second day of a cabin crew strike, while both sides wait for the national labour mediator to reconvene negotiations.
