This is no longer funny. Either the Volcano has to stop or somebody needs to shut down wi-fi at airports.

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Frankfurt is locked down since this morning. Austrian airports will follow this afternoon.

Our company had a major regional management meeting in town this week (well, actually at the airport hotel). They'll surely looove this. :lol:

Same goes for Paris (Roissy CDG, Orly & Le Bourget). Probably the same for low cost at Beauvais

Now would be a perfect time for Putin to blockade West Berlin.

This is now causing considerable international confusion.

The Portuguese president is now stranded in Prague. In exchange we got the German chancellor, whose flight got rerouted to Lisbon.

Are there any other leaders lost somewhere at the moment?

Norway's PM was running the country with an Ipad from New York last I heard.

Finland's President was in Denmark, but she's traveling back by sea.

Hungary's airspace is closed since 7PM

So I wonder what if this will last for 2 years like that big Icelandic eruption in the 19th century?

The effects if that happens would be pretty damn extensive.

Volcanos don't care about air travel.
