Many circles turned
Fog caused flight delays in Innsbruck
On Sunday, one plane had to make numerous "circles of honor" over Innsbruck before it was allowed to land. This plane was not the only one to suffer this fate, others also did.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The weekends in January are the busiest at Innsbruck Airport. On Sunday alone, almost 40 aircraft landed in Innsbruck. However, there were delays for some of them. One flight from Riga should have arrived at 7.45 a.m., but it didn't actually land until 12.58 p.m..
And one (of several) flights from Bristol in England did not touch down until 10:59 instead of 9:05. The flight from Madrid was unable to land at all and was diverted.
Dense fog as the cause
The fog was to blame. When the captain has no visual contact with the ground at the height of the Inn bridge near Innsbruck's old town, he has to take off. As a result, several "laps of honor" had to be made. In the afternoon, everything was back on schedule.
