Airport weather station fixed but data transmission still not working

The weather station at Prague's Václav Havel Airport that was hit by lightning on Thursday has been repaired, the Czech News Agency reports. However, the online data transmission system is still not working. Technicians are currently testing it but it is unclear how long this will take. If there is poor visibility as there was on Saturday, then planes will probably have to be diverted again.

Some 21 planes had to be diverted to other airports on Saturday and nine connections were cancelled due to thick fog and the malfunctioning weather station.
