Zurich: Around 70 flights were canceled at Switzerland's Zurich Airport from Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning after thunderstorms disrupted operations, Swissinfo reported. An airport spokeswoman stated that more than 30 flights en route to Zurich were diverted to other airports, including Stuttgart, Geneva, and Basel, in addition to the cancellations.

According to Anadolu Agency, the cancellations significantly affected the travel plans of numerous passengers, many of whom were forced to remain at the airport for several hours. The disruption added to the challenges faced by travelers who were already dealing with the aftermath of 44 flight cancellations on Tuesday evening due to the same weather conditions.

The persistent thunderstorms posed significant challenges for airport operations, impacting both incoming and outgoing flights. Efforts were made to accommodate affected passengers with alternative arrangements, but the scale of the disruption left many waiting for extended periods.
