Dense fog wreaked havoc at Moscow’s three major airports, forcing the delay or cancellation of over 200 flights on Tuesday.
The delays appeared to be the worst since an ice storm blanketed the Russian capital in December 2010, although no statistics on disruptions are available, a spokeswoman for federal aviation regulator Rosaviatsia said.
