Istanbul Airport, which was Europe’s busiest last year, suspended all flights on Monday because of a heavy snowstorm blanketing Turkey’s biggest city, IgbereTV reports.
The airport opened in 2019, replacing the old Ataturk Airport as the new hub for Turkish Airlines.
It provides an important connection route for destination across Africa and the Middle East, as well as Europe and Asia.
“Due to adverse conditions, all flights have been temporarily stopped for air safety,” the airport said in a statement.
Officials said flights would be suspended until at least 6:00 pm (1500 GMT).
