Air traffic - Flight operations in Munich suspended due to freezing rain
As announced, Munich Airport suspended its flight operations on Tuesday morning. This was confirmed by a spokesperson for the German Press Agency. All surfaces were iced over due to freezing rain, he added. There will therefore be no take-offs and landings from the start of operations at 6.00 am until 12.00 noon. According to the airport's online arrival and departure schedule, all listed flights had been canceled or postponed to a later time.
"The operating areas will be de-iced in the first half of the day. The plan is to allow air traffic to resume from midday," the airport wrote on its website. "However, it can be assumed that the majority of flights will also have to be canceled later in the day for safety reasons."
