Bodo Airport was closed until further notice as a result of the storm at eight o’clock.
This is what technical manager Øystein Madsen tells NRK.
Bodø Airport is closed until 10.
– We estimate that we will be closed until 10 o’clock, so we will take passengers to flights.
Earlier, 350 to 400 passengers were waiting on the plane while efforts were made to clear the runway. Talked about two full flights to Oslo. Passengers along Widerøe were taken by plane after the closure was announced.
He says the wind is blowing at 21 meters per second and there is heavy snowfall.
– There is a lot of snow. We drove the plow trains and when we got to the other end they had 10 centimeters of screed behind them, so plowing was almost useless.
Matson said the winds are too high to adequately de-ice the planes.
As a result of the closure at Bodø, flights in Tromsø and Oslo have also been grounded before going to Bodø.
Madsen says Friday morning’s delays will likely spread throughout the day and to multiple airports.
– We hope to be able to pick up some, but there will be some delays throughout the day. If this continues, there will be more. Today is a tight schedule, so things are going well, says Mattson.
