Planes landing at Vnukovo airport cannot reach the gangways due to icy runway, Telegram channel Moslenta reported. The airport press service denied this information in a comment to TASS, noting that the airport operates in normal mode.

Tugboats have been sent to help the planes. There was freezing rain in Moscow and a number of districts in the region. According to local residents, because of slippery roads it is impossible to drive.

The network shared footage from Sheremetyevo airport. Eyewitnesses told that some aircraft ramps are icy. The asphalt in front of one of the airport terminals was covered with crusts of ice. In the morning on December 19, a similar case occurred at Moscow airports. Because of bad weather were canceled 17 flights. Another 33 flights were delayed due to difficult weather conditions.
