It is icy cold, but still foggy in several places. And that is why the code yellow, which the KNMI issued on Friday evening, remains in force. The fog can also affect air traffic to and from Eindhoven Airport.
“We are experiencing inconvenience from fog. This may cause delays and/or cancellations,” the airport reports on his website. On Friday evening, several planes were unable to land in Eindhoven and flights had to be diverted to other airports. And a number of flights that were supposed to depart on Friday evening have been cancelled.
However, the damage appears to be less serious this Saturday morning, as travelers have been asked to check in before their destination. The first departing flight to Arrecife (Lanzarote) is scheduled for five to seven.
According to a spokesperson for Eindhoven Airport, travelers who have Eindhoven as their destination can contact their airline for questions about possible damage.
More disruption in Eindhoven
There are more problems at Eindhoven Airport than at other airports due to fog. That’s coming. because this airport has a less advanced system than, for example, Schiphol. In 2027, Eindhoven airport will receive new equipment around the runway, which will also allow flying in dense fog.
Code yellow until ten o’clock
The code yellow warning for dense fog applies to the entire country. Visibility is less than 1000 meters in many places, locally less than 200 m. The warning applies until ten o’clock this Saturday morning.
In dense fog, according to the KNMI, it is important to keep your distance from other vehicles in traffic. You must also turn on your front fog lights when visibility is less than 200 meters. If the distance is less than 50 meters, you should also do this at the back.
The KNMI expects the fog to slowly dissipate during Saturday morning.
