Volcanic ash cloud strands passengers at Glasgow airport

Volcanic ash cloud strands passengers at Glasgow airport

24 May 2011 18:39 (UTC +04:00)

Baku-APA. Hundreds of flights to Scotland have been cancelled over concerns about the volcanic ash cloud drifting into British airspace from Iceland, APA reports quoting telegraph.co.uk website.

The eruption of the Grimsvotn volcano has raised worries of a repeat of the volcano-related travel chaos that stranded 10 million passengers last year.

Airline officials have said changes to rules on how airlines and civil aviation authorities decide on the risks of flying should have the effect of reduced disruptions to travel compared to last year.

"We were caught with the ash last year, so it’s dÃ©jÃ vu," said one stranded passenger at Glasgow airport.
