The airport in Geneva, Switzerland, was closed today due to the extreme cold that occurs in many parts of Europe this week and is accompanied by snow and strong winds causing traffic chaos.
"Due to the prevailing weather conditions, Geneva airport is currently closed to air traffic (and will remain so) until further notice," the airport said on its website.
"Therefore we advise passengers not to come to the airport at this time."
A Siberian cold snap, which meteorologists have dubbed the "monster from the east", has caused snowfall, strong winds and many years of low temperatures in many parts of Europe, and these weather conditions are expected to continue.
Geneva airport authorities have advised passengers to contact the airlines to find out if scheduled flights will depart.
