Air traffic has resumed at Hefei Airport in storm stricken Anhui Province. Most of the passengers who have been delayed can now depart from and get into the city. But more snow is expected to paralyze transport.

On Jan. 29, the storm came to a temporary halt in the morning. Cleaning up operations have been going non-stop over the past few days. With the airport reopened, passengers delayed by the weather are finally on their way home.

Although Hefei Airport has reopened, but airports in some other storms affected areas are not. Landing requires better ground conditions than taking-off and stranded passengers are still waiting for their boarding calls.

One airport staff said, "The closure of Changsha Airport is the main reason for the delay. Three to four flights were delayed here. We arranged accommodation for those passengers."

The extreme weather is truly a test of passengers' patience and the emergency response capacity of airports and airlines.

Things are returning to normal at Hefei Airport after it reopened late on Jan. 28. But many flights to and from the city have been delayed or cancelled due to bad weather in other affected areas. More storms are expected in the region on Jan. 31, likely adding more troubles to the travel misery.
