Iceland Volcano Eruption

Volcano eruption in Iceland puts aviation sector on edge

The bad news: Icelandic volcanic eruptions have started impacting operations of Indian carriers with fears of a repeat of last year’s crisis looming large. The good news: it’s not all that bad — yet. Last year, the Eyjafjallajokull eruption had led to closure of European airspace for more than a wee k — the largest such closure since World War II.
