Flights disrupted in Sarajevo due to heavy fog

Xinhua, December 5, 2015 Adjust font size:

Most of the flights in and out of the Sarajevo International Airport were delayed or canceled due to heavy fog on Friday, local media reported.

The city was covered by thick fog since Thursday morning, reducing visibility in road and air traffic. Most of the flights were also canceled on Thursday.

Meanwhile, local authority recommended residents to reduce outdoor activities due to air pollution. The air pollution will continue in following several days, it said.

Heavy fogs are not uncommon in Sarajevo, which lies in a basin surrounded by mountains. The problem becomes more serious in winter with many residents burning coal or wood for heating. Endit
