Icelandic Volcano Continues To Wreak Havoc On World's Airspace :Flights between U.S, Britain and some points in Europe were cancelled after a volcano sprayed large amount ash clouds in skies above Northern Europe. “There are no flights that are leaving or coming from the United Kingdom,” said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees JFK, LaGuardia and Newark airports.
On an average 600 flights fly between Europe and North America and almost all the flights have been cancelled for Friday. United Airlines said “we are experiencing major disruption to our services and timetable” at London Heathrow airport, and noted the situation was evolving after NATS restricted flights within affected areas. “This is an evolving situation,” it added, saying it had issued travel waivers for its customers to change their travel plans free of charge.
Further developments in operation of flights will depend on the volcano, if it continues then there is no other option than canceling the flights.
