At least 70 flights have been cancelled and several others delayed at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport due to wintery weather, a spokesperson said on Sunday.

He said snow plows started clearing snow at the airport early Sunday morning and that Schiphol was expected to be operational again around midday. However, there might still be delays.

On the final day of the Dutch winter school holidays, a light layer of snow covered parts of Amsterdam.
