| Germany: Heavy snowfall causes temporary suspension of operations at Frankfurt airport, disrupts overland travel in Hesse |
12.03.2013 |
| Travellers due to fly to or from Frankfurt Airport (FRA, Hesse state) on 12 March afternoon and evening should expect severe disruption as heavy snowfall since early morning has resulted in the temporary suspension of flights at the facility until at least 13.30 (local time). The adverse weather has led to the cancellation of more than 130 departures while at least 200 arrivals have been delayed. Heavy snowfall has also resulted in severe traffic disruption in parts of Hesse, including on the northbound section of Highway 5 between Weiterstadt and Zeppelinheim.
Travel Advice
• We do not hold specific information on flight schedules. Travellers booked to fly to or from Frankfurt airport in the coming hours should contact their airline or the airport to reconfirm flight schedules prior to setting out.
• Arrive at the airport in plenty of time for scheduled flights in order to avoid your seat from being reassigned to a standby passenger.
• Residual delays are possible even after the airport resumes normal operations, as airlines work to clear the backlog of affected passengers.
• Road journeys may take longer than usual during and after prolonged spells of snowfall; allow additional time to reach your destination.
• Motorists should consult local contacts and the media for information on blocked roads and to ascertain the feasibility of journeys before setting out. They should exercise caution because of the dangerous conditions caused by snow and ice.
• Monitor the local media and our travel security alerts on Germany for further updates.
