Flights Back to Munich, Railway Traffic Still Distant

Germany's South is starting to blaze after the first big snow this season.

Munich Airport has returned flights on Sunday morning, and train operator Deutsche Bahn has returned the lines to key cities.

Munich Airport has been operational at 0600 after a close Saturday, due to heavy snow.

However, there are expected restrictions on travel during these days, some companies operating there have said.

Passengers have been asked to check whether their flights will be realised before heading toward the airport.

For train trips, residents of the south have been urged to make only necessary trips.

Authorities have hired helicopters to conduct air surveillance to see the rail situation.

Despite the situation, authorities have reported minor accidents.

Snow and low temperatures are expected to prevail in that area in the days ahead. /rel/
