Thousands of Tourists Stranded in Lapland as Extreme Cold Grounds Flights

Thousands of tourists have been left stranded in Finland’s Lapland region after extreme cold weather forced the cancellation of multiple flights. Temperatures dropped far below normal levels, making it unsafe for aircraft operations at several airports.

Lapland, a popular winter destination known for skiing and Northern Lights tourism, has seen heavy disruption as travelers struggle to find alternative transport or accommodation. Airlines and airport authorities say safety remains the top priority as conditions remain severe.

Officials have advised passengers to check flight updates regularly, as delays and cancellations are expected to continue until the weather improves.
