    Berlin airport slowly reopens after black ice grounds flights

    -

    FRANKFURT, Feb ​6 (Reuters) - Berlin airport is resuming operations but with significant ⁠delays and cancellations after black ice had grounded flights in ‍the German capital earlier on Friday, ​the airport said.

    Snow and freezing rain during a prolonged cold snap ​have disrupted flights, road and rail traffic in Germany.

    Airlines also had to delay or cancel departing flights on ‌Thursday as jets could not ‌be de-iced due to rain that ​quickly turned into ice.

    "BER Airport is resuming flight operations. However, ‌significant delays and cancellations are ⁠still occurring. Airlines decide independently ‌whether flights ​will operate or be cancelled," the airport said in a post ⁠on X.

    "Please ⁠check your flight status regularly."
