Putin bans transport bosses from taking holidays after airport chaos hits Moscow
Icy rain covered runways and planes with a thick layer of ice over the weekend and caused a blackout at Domodedovo Airport, which halted all flights for a day. It resumed operations on Monday, but a backlog of delayed flights left thousands stuck.
Dozens of flights also have been cancelled or delayed in the second-largest airport, Sheremetyevo, where national carrier Aeroflot reported severe shortages of de-icing fluid.
