Frolicking airport workers have been spotted having a delightful snowball fight on an icy runway, amid travel chaos for passengers.
The wintry scene took place during severe delays to international flights caused by heavy snowfall.
Frustrated passenger Caitlin filmed the crew mucking about in the snow while she was trapped in the terminal.

She captured the clip at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on Monday (5 Jan).
The video shows at least six workers in high-vis jackets lobbing snowballs at each other and rolling ice along the ground to form large balls.
Caitlin’s clip went viral on TikTok with nearly 900,000 views and hundreds of comments, as reported by What’s The Jam.
She said: “Situation at Schiphol now, snowball fight.
“Still waiting for the plane, but at least with a view, haha.”

Another said: “Aww, I love how snow brings the child out in people.”

“At least the staff are enjoying the weather because the passengers probably aren’t, this is my second day in Schiphol Amsterdam and there are supposed to be two more days to go,” Stephan complained.
Marina added: “My flight from Switzerland was also cancelled, and I didn’t get another flight until two days later.”
Caitlin later noted that her own flight was cancelled.
Schiphol Airport has entered its sixth day of delays after heavy snow and strong winds swept across the Dutch capital.
Some travellers have been stuck at the airport since Saturday.
Camp beds were set up in departure halls for stranded customers with nowhere to go.
With fresh snowfall expected to hit the city today (7 Jan), airlines have reportedly cancelled 60% of the airport’s scheduled flights.
