Severe winter weather continued to disrupt travel across Europe as snowfall shut down airports in Geneva, London and Edinburgh and Eurostar trains connecting the U.K. to the continent were canceled.
Gatwick airport, the U.K.’s second-busiest, will remain closed until at least tomorrow morning, according to its website. The main runway at Frankfurt airport was closed because of strong tailwinds, Stefanie Wagener, a spokeswoman for operator Fraport AG, said by phone. Geneva airport closed last night and won’t open until at least 6 a.m. tomorrow, with Bern closed until 8 p.m. tonight and Basel until at least 5:30 p.m.
