In Germany, one of the key transport hubs — Berlin-Brandenburg Airport — has been forced to suspend flight operations due to adverse weather conditions. The reason is severe icing and icy rain, which have made it impossible to safely de-ice the aircraft.

Disruptions and Passenger Recommendations
According to official information from the airport’s press service, the decision to halt departures was made due to the inability to carry out the necessary de-icing procedures for the aircraft. Meanwhile, landings are still ongoing, but the bad weather has already caused widespread delays and cancellations of flights.
“Aircraft cannot be de-iced due to the weather. For now, this only affects departures,” the Berlin airport press service reported.
Passengers are advised to closely monitor updates regarding the status of their flights and to contact airlines for the latest information.
Weather Situation and Further Forecasts
The German Meteorological Service has warned of an increased risk of adverse weather phenomena in the capital. Freezing rain and icing are complicating operations not only at the airport but also for public transport. At this time, the timeline for fully restoring normal airport operations remains unknown.
