At Zurich Airport, 22 departures and 21 arrivals had to be canceled on Saturday morning due to snowfall since the start of operations. Swiss flights to Berlin and Munich, which was particularly affected by the snow, were canceled.
However, flights to Brussels and London, for example, could not be operated either, as was reported on the airport website on Saturday morning. Airport media spokeswoman Elena Stern said on request that the winter service had been busy clearing snow all night.
There were also delays. This was because the planes had to be de-iced. This took 20 to 40 minutes each time. "The snowfall leads to additional work," says Stern. Zurich Airport recommends that travelers inform themselves about the situation.
The weather service SRF Meteo reported on Saturday morning that there had been 15 centimeters of fresh snow in Zurich-Kloten overnight.
Almost normal operations in Basel and Geneva
Euroairport Basel-Mulhouse, on the other hand, only reported the cancellation of departures and arrivals to and from Munich on its website on Saturday morning. According to the airport's website, Geneva-Cointrin was also largely operating normally on Saturday. A flight to Munich was also canceled in Geneva.
