Airports in Krakow and Katowice paralyzed. Inconvenience to passengers
Passengers must expect significant difficulties at the airports in Kraków and Katowice. The operation of airports was paralyzed by thick fog.
Passengers who had flights planned to or from Balice near Krakow just after Christmas must expect significant difficulties. All because of difficult weather conditions. The Kraków Airport spokeswoman said that dense fog prevents planes from landing and taking off. A similar situation occurred at the Krakow airport on Friday, December 27.
Cracow. Canceled and delayed flights from Balice
On Saturday, December 28, no plane landed in Krakow until 12 p.m. The machines are redirected to Warsaw and Rzeszów, as well as to Ostrava, Czech Republic. Natalia Vince clarified that seven planes were transferred to other cities, which were ultimately supposed to go to Krakow. Scheduled departures are also significantly delayed. On the other hand connections from the capital of Lesser Poland to Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Istanbul were completely canceled.
Katowice. Thick fog paralyzes airport operations
Problems also affected the airport in Katowice. Here – as in Krakow – planes could neither take off nor land according to the planned schedule. Departures to London and Eindhoven are delayed. In turn, machines that were supposed to end their journey in Silesia are being redirected to Warsaw and Wrocław.
Airport representatives explained that landings can be made when the visibility along the runway is not less than 300 meters, and take-offs can take place when the visibility is not less than 125 meters.
Airports in Krakow and Katowice with an urgent appeal to passengers
Both the airports in Kraków and Katowice appealed to passengers to follow current information on the websites of carriers and airports, because “the situation related to flight redirection is dynamic.”
