FRANKFURT, Feb 6 (Reuters) – Berlin airport will stay closed on Friday because of black ice and it is unclear when take-offs and landings will resume, German news agency DPA cited an airport spokesperson as saying.

Airlines had to delay or cancel departing flights after snow and freezing rain hit the airport on Thursday.

“Due to weather conditions, no take-offs or landings are currently possible,” the airport said on its website.
