Heavy snowfall disrupted travel in southern Germany and parts of neighboring Switzerland and Austria, with hundreds of flights delayed or canceled so far.
Munich, Germany’s second busiest airport, took the main hit. It was forced to close at around 10:35 p.m. on Friday night and isn’t expected to reopen until Sunday. Some 760 flights were scheduled for Saturday.
