Storm “Otto” caused disruptions to air traffic in Denmark and also cut power for thousands of people in Britain. The storm with strong winds is likely to affect take-offs and landings throughout the weekend, Lars Lemche told the Danish news agency Ritzau on Saturday from Copenhagen Airport. Passengers will probably still have to be patient, he said.
In Scotland, 7,600 households were still without power on Saturday night due to ‘Otto’. Trucks should deliver food and drink in the morning to the hardest hit areas. A man was seriously injured when a tree fell in the northern English city of Sheffield on Friday. ‘Otto’ also felled trees in Denmark, railway lines were temporarily closed and around 2,000 households in southern Sweden were temporarily without power.
But the bridges over the Öresund – between Denmark and Sweden – and the Great Belt – between the Danish islands of Funen and Zeeland – have now also reopened for ‘wind-sensitive’ vehicles.
