The airport had been closed from early morning to clear snow from the runways after the country's weather agency issued warnings for heavy snow and low visibility in the area.

A total of 11 flights had been canceled and another 34 delayed due to bad weather as of 8:45 a.m., according to authorities. The KAC said additional delays or cancellations could take place depending on weather conditions and the effectiveness of snow removal work. (Yonhap)
