Heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures are causing travel chaos in parts of northern Europe and the United Kingdom.
London's Heathrow Airport was open Monday, but airport officials said there would be limited arrivals and departures.
Heathrow Airport, which had only one functional runway on the weekend, stopped accepting arrivals Sunday at the start of the busy holiday travel season.
"We expect further cancellations and delays in the coming days, as airlines move diverted aircraft and crew back to their normal positions and we continue to manage the impacts of the poor weather," airport officials said in a statement posted online.
