BRUSSELS: Heavy snow stranded thousands of Christmas travelers in parts of Europe on Friday, with Belgium’s main airport closed for most of the day to landing and icy roads in Sweden choked with traffic.
Cold weather during the busy Christmas period has disrupted travel and business across Europe this week, and the prolonged period of severe weather is expected to clip economic growth in Germany, Europe’s biggest economy. A spokesman for Brussels’ airport said hundreds of beds were ready for stranded passengers after the airport reopened to inbound flights from 4 p.m. (1500 GMT) following a day of delays and cancellations. -Reuters
