VIENNA, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Heavy snow on Friday morning forced Vienna International Airport VIEV.VI to halt flights, with take-offs currently expected to resume as of 9 a.m. (0800 GMT) and landings as of 10 a.m., the company said in a statement.

Delays are, however, to be expected beyond the resumption of flights, it said. Of around 117 flights scheduled in and out of the airport on Friday morning until 9 a.m., 19 have been cancelled so far, it added.
