(MENAFN) On Wednesday morning, Vaclav Havel Airport in Prague was temporarily closed as thick fog led to considerable disruptions in flight schedules.

"Due to reduced visibility, arrivals and departures are currently delayed," the airport stated in a post shared on X.

Numerous flights that were set to arrive in Prague early Wednesday were rerouted to other airports across the Czech Republic and neighboring nations, according to reports from a media outlet.

By 10 a.m. (0800 GMT), operations resumed on the secondary runway, although 24 incoming flights were still impacted. Six flights were canceled, and all departures scheduled for the morning faced delays.

In the previous year, Vaclav Havel Airport Prague accommodated 16.35 million passengers, as noted on the airport's official website.
