Dense fog causes two-hour delays at Malaga's Costa del Sol airport

The fog was so thick passengers said even road signs on their journeys to the airport were obscured. The fog dissipated at around 10am, leaving the airport to handle a backlog of flights.

Airport operations company Aena said that the schedule at Malaga airport is now starting to return to normal. Only one service was cancelled because of the fog, a helicopter due to fly Ceuta.

The dense 'taró' fog along the Costa de Sol is caused by warm air moving over the cold sea.
