Switzerland: Weather-related flight disruptions reported at Zurich Airport June 28

An earlier thunderstorm has prompted flight disruptions at Zurich Airport (ZRH) on June 28. A risk of lightning strikes during the early hours of the morning repeatedly led to ground handling stops, which delayed outgoing flights, and led incoming flights to circle ZRH or divert to alternative airports. While ground handling appears to have resumed, delays to incoming and outgoing flights will likely persist until at least the late afternoon.
