As blizzards and a sharp drop in temperatures sweep across Europe, paralyzing transportation and power systems, Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is running out of de-icing fluid. Since the cold snap began last week, Air France-KLM, which handles most of the airport’s de-icing operations, has been consuming enough de-icing fluid daily to match what it typically uses throughout an entire winter. Spokesperson Anoesjka Aspeslagh said that due to critically low stock levels, a KLM team rushed to Germany late Tuesday to secure additional supplies from a supplier. Even so, Schiphol Airport is experiencing severe delays due to heavy snow and strong winds, with more than 600 flights canceled as of Wednesday. The extreme cold has also depleted de-icing fluid stocks at other European airports, and hundreds of flights have been canceled in France. According to Agence France-Presse, the freezing weather has already caused at least five traffic-related deaths in France; meanwhile, the snowfall has triggered weather warnings in Scotland and caused hundreds of kilometers of traffic congestion across Central Europe. A new round of snowfall is expected today, with orange alerts issued across France, Belgium, Germany, and Denmark.
