Volcanic ash cloud paralyzes swath of European airspace
Ash from a volcano in Iceland brought disruption to European air transport last month on a scale that far exceeded the combined efforts of global terrorism
Many business aircraft were able to escape Europe before airspace was closed by the volcanic ash cloud on April 15. But some did not, including operators who had to keep their aircraft grounded at the London-area Farnborough Airport. Shown here are jets parked on the ramp and taxiway alongside the hangars and terminal operated by Tag Aviation. Authorities reopened British airspace at 10 p.m. on April 20.
