European Airports Limit Flights as Snow Sweeps Across Region

European airports from London to Frankfurt suspended hundreds of flights and worked to overcome bottlenecks from weekend cancellations as snow and ice swept across the continent and disrupted travel for a second week.

Heathrow in London has scrapped 179 flights so far today, about 14 percent of the total, after grounding 260 yesterday. Visibility may deteriorate tonight at Europe’s busiest aviation hub, and aircraft may need hold a bigger distance to one another. Frankfurt canceled 424 out of 1,190 flights, and about 40 percent of traffic through Paris’s airports today is on hold.
