AFP counted some 90 flights cancelled on Sunday on the airport website departures page, mainly to European cities including Paris, Rome and Dublin. Dozens of flights due to land at the airport were also cancelled or delayed.
"Due to strong winds, fewer flights are expected to take off and land on Sunday, October 25," the airport said. It did not say exactly how many flights were affected and the airport did not immediately respond to AFP's query.
The KLM-operated flight from Findel Airport to Amsterdam at 2.45pm on Sunday was also affected, according to lux-airport.lu. The Schipol-website said the arrival time would be pushed back from 4pm to 5.07pm.
