Iceland strikes again with volcanic ash cloud: More Than 200 Flights Cancelled Due To Ash Cloud - WSJ.com

Europe's air-traffic management agency Tuesday said more than 200 schedule flights had been cancelled due to the clouds of volcanic ash drifting toward the continent from Iceland amid fears the disruption could spread.
Weather forecasters at the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center in London Tuesday repeated warnings that there was a risk that some ash clouds may reach parts of northern Europe in the next 48 hours. Iceland and Scotland already are affected.

A part of Danish airspace was closed from early Tuesday, said Danish airspace surveillance unit Naviair. "At the moment only a small offshore area over the North Sea is affected by the airspace closure, and only up to a height of six kilometers," Naviair spokeswoman Camilla Hegnsborg told Dow Jones Newswires.
