Freezing Conditions Ground Flights at Vienna Airport, Disrupt Prague

Freezing conditions have caused significant disruptions to air travel in Central Europe. Vienna International Airport was closed until 11 a.m. (12:00 Cyprus time) due to ice on the runways, resulting in flights being diverted to other airports. Simultaneously, Prague's Václav Havel Airport is operating with a 'very limited operation' due to freezing rain, with delays and restricted arrivals. Furthermore, Bratislava Airport has also closed due to adverse weather conditions, until 11:15 (local time, 12:15 Cyprus time). Authorities at all three airports are working to clear the runways and restore normal operations, but delays are expected throughout the day.
