Finally after many days of no flights, Europe will finally be able to put their planes back in the air. It is expected that today the flights will be back to 100%. The planes have been stranded for the last 7 days due to the volcanic ash from Iceland. Now though the ash has decreased by 80%. But, during the peak of this problem around 1.2 million people or 29% of global aviation were affected by this incident. On Wednesday it was estimated that the airlines had lost $1.7 billion.
It interesting how a volcano in Iceland can affect so many people around the world. I can't believe that they airlines lost $1.7 BILLION due to the stranded flights. That's a lot of money. I also find it unbelievable that 29% of aviation was down due to the ash. It's good to hear that the planes are finally able to fly again.
