Mist causes delays for travellers
Road and air travellers are being warned to expect delays as a result of thick mist across much of the country on Tuesday morning.
Flights to and from Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport are restricted to 17 landings per hour compared to the usual 60, a spokeswoman told the AD website.
Only one runway is being used because of poor visibility due to the mist and the delays are expected to continue into the afternoon, she says.
Airports at Rotterdam, Brussels and Paris are also experiencing delays.
Road traffic too is being affected by the weather with visibility down to 50 metres in some areas says motoring organisation ANWB. The biggest problems are in and around Rotterdam.
