Heavy snowfall in Istanbul has prompted major delays at Turkey's largest airport, where all domestic flights have been cancelled up to Sunday night, according to airlines and Turkish media.
Over 600 more domestic and international flights have been cancelled at Istanbul's Ataturk airport, Dogan news agency reported on Sunday, as the city weathered a winter storm that surprised residents with up to 40 centimetres of snow.
Istanbul's Bosporus Strait reopened to shipping traffic on Sunday after being halted by the severe weather.
The unexpectedly harsh conditions also led to several power outages in areas of the city, which does not typically get such large amounts of snow.
Temperatures in Istanbul dropped on Friday when the area was hit by stormy weather and icy conditions causing major disruptions to traffic.
More snow is forecast for the week ahead.
