"At least 700 flights at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport were canceled on Wednesday because of the snow and wind, after days of travel disruptions due to the winter storm. Over 1,000 passengers were stranded at Schiphol overnight. Airport authorities said they had set up camp beds for travelers who were forced to sleep at the airport, which is one of the busiest in Europe."
"Public buses were also suspended in Paris, as shops began the first day of New Year's sales. School buses and trucks have also been banned from roads across northern and western France, amid forecasts of significant snowfall and black ice. Rail services were also facing delays and disruptions, the country's rail operator said. "Snow on the tracks is forcing us to limit train speed and cancel trains or adjust traffic," SNCF said."
A winter storm named Goretti struck western Europe, causing heavy snowfall, flooding and power outages across multiple countries. At least six people died in weather-related incidents this week, five in France and one in Bosnia. Major airports faced mass cancellations, including around 700 flights at Amsterdam Schiphol and about 140 cancellations across Paris airports, leaving many passengers stranded overnight. Public bus services in Paris were suspended and school buses and trucks were banned on many roads in northern and western France. Rail operators limited speeds, canceled trains and reported delays, while Eurostar services and schools in Scotland were also affected.
