AMSTERDAM (Reuters) -At least 80 incoming and more than 70 outgoing flights were canceled at the Netherlands’ Schiphol Airport on Saturday as Storm Amy moved across the country, the airport said in a statement on its website.
The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) issued a warning for Storm Amy for wind gusts reaching 90 km/h along the Dutch coast and up to 75 km/h in inland areas.
Several other flights at Schiphol, one of Europe’s busiest airports, experienced delays due to the severe weather.
The majority of the canceled flights were operated by KLM, AirFrance-KLM’s Dutch arm, which also warned on its website that further delays or cancellations could affect Sunday flights as the storm continues.
