Fresh snow forces Frankfurt to suspend flights

None

Fresh snowfall forced Frankfurt airport, Germany's biggest, to suspend takeoffs and landings for a few hours early Tuesday - the latest setback to beleaguered pre-Christmas travelers in Europe and beyond.

 

Airport authorities said flights were suspended a little after 5 a.m. (0400 GMT). The first runway was reopened for business at about 8.30 a.m. (0730 GMT) and officials were working to clear the rest. Some 300 flights were canceled. (AP)
