Mon 19th Apr, 2010

Munich. The huge cloud of volcanic dust continues to slow down air traffic in Germany and most other European continues. German Air Traffic Control (DFS) extended the far-reaching flight ban on Sunday. The flights are now stoped at least until Monday 8 p.m.

The ash from the Icelandic volcano was still dangerous for aircraft, said a DFS spokeswoman. The extension of the closure of airspace to 8 p.m. does not flights will definitely resume by that time.
In Austria since 5 a.m. takeoffs and landings have been allowed. British airspace will remain closed till 7 p.m. (local time/ 8 p.m. EDT).
