Air services across Europe were disrupted today, as snow and bad weather led to flight cancelations and delays at airports including in Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam and Edinburgh.
In Frankfurt, 266 flights were canceled as of 2:45 p.m., airport owner Fraport AG said in an e-mailed statement. Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Europe’s second-largest carrier, said Fraport had made “insufficient de-icing and handling capacities” available. Fraport spokesman Thomas Uber said “clumpy, coagulated” snow meant de-icing took longer than usual.
