Europe's busiest airport in London -- Heathrow -- stopped accepting arrivals yesterday, causing havoc at the start of the Christmas travel rush with thousands of fliers stranded. The British air-hub said delays and cancellations would spill into next week.
Similarly, hundreds of passengers were forced to spend night at London's Gatwick Airport due to cancellations and flight delays.
At Paris' Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports, more than 40 per cent flights were cancelled and many passengers slept in makeshift dormitories.
Over 1,500 passengers spent their second night at the Brussels airport mainly because connection flights from London, Frankfurt or other snow-hit cities are not leaving.
Officials at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport said more than 1,700 beds were "far too less" for around 3,000 passengers stranded there and many of them had to sleep on sofas or on floor.
