Black Ice and Snow in Germany: Why Mallorca Travelers Are Left on Hold

Answer

Why do Mallorca flights get delayed when there is snow in Germany?

Heavy snow and black ice in Germany can slow down airport operations long before a plane leaves the ground. Aircraft may need to be de-iced, ground crews work more slowly in difficult conditions, and delays can quickly spread to flights to and from Mallorca.
