Volcanic Ash Disrupts European Air Cargo

4/15/2010 -

The recent eruption of the Icelandic Volcano has caused major disruptions in air traffic throughout Europe as nearly all major airports cancelled all flights. Paris' Charles de Gaulle, London Heathrow, Amsterdam Schiphol, and Frankfort, Germany's airports have all closed as of yesterday Thursday April 15^th. The potential damage to aircraft that could be caused by the plume of ash and volcanic rock has hastened the European organization for the safety of Air Navigation, Eurocontrol to cancel nearly all flights throughout northern and central Europe. How long the suspension of air traffic will last is unknown at this time and entirely depends on the volcano's activity. All cargo bookings to and from effected locations will be delayed until further notice.
