Heavy Snow Causes Significant Flight Delays at Berlin Airport

Unusually wet and heavy snowfall overnight disrupted operations, leading to flight cancellations and delays at BER airport.

Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) experienced major flight disruptions following heavy snowfall overnight.
Two flights, one to Barcelona and another to Stuttgart, were canceled, with numerous others delayed, especially during the morning hours.
The Deutsche Flugsicherung temporarily limited landings to 15 per hour due to adverse weather conditions, further contributing to delays.
Clearing the runways took longer than expected due to the unusually wet and heavy snow, which also slowed the de-icing of airplanes.
Airport authorities expect flight operations to normalize by late morning, but passengers are advised to check with airlines for potential Saturday schedule changes.
