Heavy snowfall and freezing rain cause flight cancellations across Germany
At Frankfurt airport, Germany's biggest, more than 500 flights were cancelled, while in Munich over 250 arrivals and departures were cancelled. In western Germany, Saarbruecken airport closed for the day, as Duesseldorf and Cologne/Bonn airports were also affected by delays and cancellations.
The freezing rain across western and southern Germany also led to many accidents on icy roads in the early morning hours of Wednesday. Image Courtesy: Reuters.
