(NECN: Jennifer Eagan, Boston, Mass.) - Around the world, it's an air travel nightmare again this morning.
A volcano in Iceland is continuing to spew hot ash, rock and sand into the air, wreaking havoc on worldwide flight schedules. Whether you are trying to get to the UK or even just fly through, chances are, your plans are changing.
The European air traffic agency says the flight
disruptions that upended travel in Europe and reverberated
throughout the world yesterday are worse today.
Eurocontrol says half a dozen European nations have closed their
airspaces because of the volcanic ash spewing from an Icelandic
volcano. The agency says about 60 percent of European flights are
not operating, and delays will continue into tomorrow.
The ash cloud has left tens of thousands of travelers stranded
around the globe, and blocked the main air flight path between the
U.S. East Coast and Europe.
