Iceland volcano causes flight chaos
Hundreds of flights from European airports have been cancelled because of a cloud of ash thrown up by the eruption of a volcano in Iceland.
20:23 / 15.04.2010 All air traffic in and out of Norway was suspended on Thursday and British air space is due to be closed to all commercial and private aircraft.
A volcano under Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull glacier erupted for the second time in less than a month on Wednesday, sending plumes of black ash and white steam into the air.
Heathrow airport, Europe’s busiest, was among the British airports that were to be shut down from 11:00 GMT for at least six hours, according to authorities.
A spokeswoman for the British airport operator BAA said the decision was being made "due to airspace restrictions, in accordance with international regulations."Bu yazı ( 251 ) - dəfə oxunmuşdur
