Travel advisories are in force throughout the United Kingdom; however, no notable difficulties have been recorded at major airports as of yet.

A strong cold spell caused over a hundred aircraft delays and numerous cancellations at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport today. Disruptions “due to weather conditions and limited de-icing capacity” were mentioned on the website of KLM Airlines, the Dutch national airline.

A ‘cold yellow’ warning for snow and slick conditions was issued by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute for the majority of the nation.

Due to continuous disruptions from cold weather, official statistics on canceled and delayed flights from Schiphol Airport are not yet available. However, the departure schedule shows severe delays since yesterday evening, especially to destinations in Europe.

There are flights from Amsterdam to Helsinki, London City, Copenhagen, Stuttgart, Barcelona, Birmingham, Aalborg, and Frankfurt that have been canceled as of today, January 16.

An airport spokesman expects a disrupted flight schedule during the day and advises travelers to get in touch with their airlines for more details and potential workarounds.

According to a KLM spokesperson, the freezing conditions on the runways in Amsterdam are restricting takeoffs and landings today since the planes need to be de-iced before taking off. Any changes to the flight schedule will be communicated to passengers as soon as feasible.

The UK is experiencing similar winter weather conditions to those affecting the Netherlands on the other side of the North Sea. The Met Office issues a warning for Tuesday’s frigid Arctic air plunge, which could have serious consequences and make driving difficult.

In light of the impending cold snap, Stein Connelly, Head of Transport Resilience (Operations) at Transport Scotland, suggests confirming with transportation providers about any potential delays on rail, boat, or air travel.
