Flights resumed on Sunday morning at Munich Airport, after being suspended on Saturday due to heavy snowfall that caused chaos in Bavaria, where rail traffic is expected to remain “massively” disrupted at least until Monday. “Flights have resumed since 06:00,” although “disruptions in air traffic” can be expected, Munich airport, the second largest in Germany after Frankfurt, said on its website.
“Therefore, we recommend travelers flying today to check with their airline well in advance about the status of their flight before going to the airport,” he added. Air traffic was suspended on Saturday due to heavy snowfall overnight from Friday to Saturday that paralyzed transport in southern Germany, particularly in the Bavaria region and its capital, Munich.
At least “until Monday”
The city’s central station was closed all day and main traffic was completely paralyzed, as was public transport. Across the region, travelers have faced train cancellations or delays. Rail traffic should also slowly resume on Sunday, as snowfall has stopped in Munich, Deutsche Bahn reported.
However, “massive disruptions will need to be expected at least until Monday” due to “significant damage caused by bad weather” across the region, while some lines, particularly those to and from Austria and Switzerland, should not be resumed. this Sunday. “We continue to recommend postponing trips to and from Munich,” said the public operator.
Bus service resumed on Sunday morning and some tram and subway lines are expected to follow, according to the Munich public transport company (MVG). Another consequence of these inclement weather: the match between Bayern and Union Berlin on the thirteenth round of the German championship, scheduled for Saturday afternoon, had to be postponed.
