Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is pre-emptively cancelling a large number of flights due to expected snow on Sunday. A spokesperson for KLM confirmed the decision following initial reports by (nu.nl). While the total number of affected flights across all airlines remains unknown, KLM has confirmed that at least 150 of its services have been cancelled.
KLM confirmed that it cancelled the flights in consultation with airport authorities, affecting both departing and arriving traffic. The airline remains unsure whether it will cancel additional flights later today as weather conditions evolve.
A code yellow weather warning for snow and slippery conditions will take effect across the Netherlands in stages from Sunday afternoon. By cancelling flights in advance, the airline hopes to prevent passengers from travelling to the airport unnecessarily.
