FRANKFURT, Jan 5 (Bernama-dpa) -- Due to winter weather conditions, including snowfall, sleet, and freezing rain, 120 out of 1,090 scheduled flights on Sunday at Frankfurt Airport, Germany's busiest, were cancelled, a spokesman for airport operator Fraport told German news agency dpa.
As runways need to be cleared and visibility is reduced, the airport's capacity is limited, he said.
Additionally, the de-icing of aircraft is taking longer due to the weather conditions, he added.
The spokesman advised passengers to check with their airline regarding their flights and, if necessary, to allow extra time for the journey to the airport.
Fraport had already warned of possible flight cancellations due to the weather conditions.
