Winterchaos in Bavaria: smoothness and flight cancellations threaten travelers!

The German Weather Service warns on Sunday of winter road conditions and high smooth glading in large parts of Bavaria. The warning applies due to snow or freezing moisture and results in an official severe weather warning, which is expected to come into force until 2 p.m. from the early morning. Affected cities and counties include the city and district of Regensburg, Regensburg district, city and district of Rosenheim as well as other regions in the Free State.

stays outdoors and car journeys should be avoided according to the recommendations. While rising temperatures can be expected on Monday, meteorological forecasts expect up to 3 degrees in parts of Lower Bavaria and even up to 14 degrees in Mainfranken. The winter slump also has an impact on air traffic: several flights have already been canceled at Munich Airport on Sunday morning, whereby the decisions about flight cancellations were already made as a precaution on Saturday.

Air traffic and restrictions

At Munich Airport, only one runway is open, while the other is currently being cleared. The visual relationships are reduced by the snowfall, which leads to enlarged intervals when it comes to departures and landings. In addition, the machines have to be dipped, which results in further delays. Travelers are urgently asked to find out about the status of their flights from their airlines, as flight outages and delays are also expected at the Nuremberger Airport and at Frankfurt Airport.

of a total of 1,090 planned starts and landings on Sunday have already been canceled 120 flights. The restrictions in air traffic affect not only flights within Germany, but also connections to Austria, Switzerland and some European goals. It remains unclear how long the weather-related restrictions will last, as among other things nordbayern.de reported.

summarized the winter slump in weather in Bavaria both to significantly impair the road conditions and to heavily burden air traffic, which affects numerous travelers.
