Kwasniewski forced to cancel Prague trip as fog closes Warsaw airport

Warsaw's Okecie airport was closed yesterday morning due to heavy fog, with weather reports suggesting the problem may recur this morning. All planes were grounded until 1 pm, and incoming flights were either delayed or diverted to nearby airfields. President Aleksander Kwasniewski had to call off a scheduled trip to Prague, which has now been postponed until mid-December. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 8; Zycie, p. 7) M.T.K.
