Fresh snowfall forced Frankfurt airport, Germany’s biggest, to suspend takeoffs and landings for a few hours early Tuesday — the latest setback to beleaguered pre-Christmas travelers in Europe and beyond.
Airport authorities said flights were suspended a little after 5 a.m. (0400 GMT). The first runway was reopened for business at about 8.30 a.m. (0730 GMT) and officials were working to clear the rest. Some 300 flights were canceled.
Frankfurt has seen hundreds of cancelations over recent days — often a result of disruption elsewhere in Europe, including major problems at London’s Heathrow Airport.
Heathrow’s website said that the London hub would be operating a “reduced flight schedule” on Tuesday.
