ONE of Europe’s busiest airports has cancelled hundreds more flights as chaos enters its sixth day.
A major snow warning has resulted in the cancellations at Amsterdam‘s Schiphol Airport since the weekend.
According to local media, another 718 flights have been cancelled today with fears of another 10cm of snow across the country.
The airport stated: “On Wednesday, due to persistent winter weather and heavy winds, only limited air traffic is possible to and from Schiphol.
“More cancellations are expected. This will be mostly European flights.”
The majority of flights from the UK have been cancelled to Schiphol Airport today, affecting as many as 60 inbound and outbound flights.
This affects routes from London airports, as well as Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The few that are still in operation are expected to be severely delayed.
Passengers have been left stranded at the airport for days, due to the ongoing cancellations.
On Monday, the airport cancelled 450 flights, affecting arrivals and departures.
And yesterday, another 455 flights were cancelled as well.
As many as a thousand passengers were thought to have slept at the airport overnight, due to visa issues preventing many from leaving.
One woman said has been left stuck at the airport since Sunday.
She explained: “Yesterday morning, we were sent away again. We ended up coming back.
“And we’ve been waiting here ever since. We had to sleep here, too.”
Most trains to and from the airport have been cancelled.
And Eurostar trains have also been affected, with two of the five planned routes from London to Amsterdam cancelled today.
Others are offering a limited service with passengers not able to join at some stops.
Desperate travellers have been forced to find alternative routes home.
One said on social media: “We got a ferry from Rotterdam to Hull last night.”
Another said: “I got a taxi to Brussels for €500 and getting on a flight to London.”
A third added: “Decided to book Flixbus from Amsterdam to London.”
Sadly, passengers won’t be able to claim compensation for any losses due to the weather being seen as an ‘extraordinary circumstance’.
Airlines must offer either a full refund or book you on the next available flight.
If stuck overnight, hotels and food vouchers must also be offered.
Flights at Liverpool Airport were also axed this week after the airport was forced to close.
