Amsterdam: Many flights have to be canceled due to squalls

Due to the current hurricane, numerous flights at Dutch airports have to be canceled for safety reasons. The lion's share goes to Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport. 

The hurricane “Ciarán” contains strong squalls that can be dangerous for aircraft, especially during take-off and landing. After the second highest warning level was declared for parts of the Netherlands and gusts of up to 110 km/h were expected, numerous airlines have decided to cancel their flights as a precaution. 

KLM's offer to/from Amsterdam is particularly badly affected. Hundreds of flights were canceled by the carrier, which apologized to passengers in a statement and referred to safety reasons.
