8月20日：Berlin Airport Faces Long Delays After Overnight Storm

A strong overnight storm caused long delays at Berlin Airport on Wednesday morning. Several runways were closed for safety checks, and many passengers waited more than three hours.

Airport officials said the storm brought heavy rain and strong winds after midnight. Ground teams had to inspect the runways before flights could take off again. By noon, some international flights had been cancelled, while others were moved to later time slots.

Travelers were asked to check the airport app for updates and not to go to the terminal too early. Staff handed out water and snacks in the waiting areas. Officials hope the schedule will return to normal by Thursday evening.
