Large number of flights at the Beijing Capital International Airport were cancelled or delayed due to heavy snowfalls on Sunday, according to Beijing News. The delays have stranded¹ passengers for two days.

《新京报》报道，由于周日大雪，北京国际机场大量航班呗取消或延误。旅客被滞留达两天时间。

A total of over 300 flights were canceled, while many flights were delayed, as Beijing News reported.

The report by Beijing News found that inadequate² operation coordination³ systems, along with equipment that were not properly de-iced, were the main cause for the massive delays.

The report also found that the Beijing Capital International Airport is only capable of de-icing 20 planes per hour, while about 80 flights were waiting for departure in the morning peak hours, which means three quarters of flights had to be delayed.

Generally, de-icing for one runway in the airport takes 40 minutes. During continuous snowfalls, deicing is needed for both arriving and departing planes to ensure the safety of airport operations.
