A lot of snow closes the Bergen airport
Flesland Airport is closed to all flights until further notice, reports Bergens Tidende.
- It's snowing. All machines and crews are in constant motion to remove it on a regular basis. But it is completely impossible to predict when we will be able to re-open the airport, says airport director Helge Eidsnes.
According to the website Avinor SAS flight to Stavanger at 15.27:XNUMX PM was the last to take off from Flesland on Sunday afternoon.
Subsequent planes were given a new time or were canceled.
The Norwegian Meteorological Institute has issued a yellow warning of the danger of snowy weather that has been reported south of Stadt.
- Locally, it can reach 10-15 cm in six hours. Drive carefully! - encourages the institute.
