Oslo Airport partially reopens after weather-linked closure

Oslo Airport has reopened for departures after closing earlier in the day due to heavy snow and wind, though arrivals at the country's main airport remain suspended for now, national airport operator Avinor said on Saturday. "We are planning for a soft start from 2:00 p.m. (1300 GMT) for departures only," an Avinor spokesperson said. The airport will handle arrivals again from 1440 GMT as Avinor continues to monitor the weather, the spokesperson said. Wet and heavy snow combined with intense wind and rain had created challenging conditions earlier in the day, leading to the closure.<br/>
