Heavy snowfall in Bratislava complicates traffic. The airport has closed, some public transport connections do not run – HNonline.sk

Bratislava Airport is closed for heavy snowfall from 12.40 p.m. Four arrivals from the planned flights were canceled. Zuzana Drobová, a spokeswoman for Milan Rastislav Štefánik Airport in Bratislava, informed about it.

The relevant airport units currently provide continuous runway maintenance. “However, the snowfall is currently so intense that no mechanical or chemical intervention helps to maintain the operability of the operating areas., “Drobová explained.

He estimates that the airport closure will take at least three hours. The length of the closure will be re-evaluated by the airport on the basis of the current meteorological situation. “We will keep you informed of developments, “Drobová said.

The Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute informed that it is necessary to count on snowfall in the afternoon as well. It will also expand slightly to the east. Meteorologists have therefore issued warnings for western and central Slovakia.
