A number of domestic flights were canceled in Turkey for 4 hours due to volcanic ash caused by Icelandic volcano eruption, Hurriyet reports.

Volcanic ash from Iceland again drifted towards the European continent. Certain states had to cancel a number of flights again.

The April 14 eruption of Eyjafjallajokul shut down European airports for five days, causing over 100 000 flights to be canceled. The losses of air companies and tour operators were estimated at about € 2.5bn.
