HELSINKI, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- A winter storm disrupted travel in Finland's northern region of Lapland over the weekend, stranding hundreds of passengers and forcing emergency arrangements at airports as flight cancellations and delays extended into Monday.
Finavia, Finland's state-owned airport operator, said about 20 flights to and from Rovaniemi, the regional capital of Lapland, were cancelled or delayed. The airports of Kittila and Ivalo, two other major gateways for winter tourists, suspended operations for several hours due to severe weather, with flights resuming later Saturday evening.
