Berlin Airport Suspends Flights for Second Consecutive Day
Berlin Brandenburg Airport has suspended flights for the second consecutive day due to severe weather conditions. Poor visibility and hazardous runway conditions forced the airport to halt all take-offs and landings.
Weather-Related Flight Cancellations
The cancellation of flights began on Thursday following a period of freezing rain. As a result, operations were grounded, and travelers faced significant disruptions.
Details of the Closure
- Airport Location: Schönefeld, just south of Berlin.
- Status: Flights suspended for two days.
- Reason: Freezing rain and the formation of black ice on runways.
Despite efforts from ground staff to clear the runways overnight, ongoing freezing temperatures left surfaces still treacherous. An airport spokeswoman indicated that the timeframe for resuming flights remains uncertain.
Impact on Passengers
Berlin Brandenburg Airport is Germany’s third-busiest terminal, trailing only Frankfurt and Munich. Travelers are advised to stay informed through the airport’s official channels as updates are expected regularly.
Due to the unpredictable nature of the weather, this situation could change swiftly, making it essential for passengers to monitor their flight statuses closely.
