There have not been any volcanoes in England for 300 million years, a few evidences of them remain (e.g. Arthur's seat in Edinburgh). I think you mean the volcano in Iceland. Recently, a volcano in Iceland erupted and the ash fumes passed over much of Western Europe. As a result, large number of flights had to be called off for about two months. This certainly affected the aviation industry, as London and Paris are important hubs for international flights.
Thankfully, no. Many flights were cancelled because of this risk.
Flights are not being grounded globally. There is a volcano erupting in Iceland causing a few flights to be grounded in Northern Europe.
Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted for the second time on April 14, 2010 and caused a thick cloud to settle over Europe and cancel thousands of flights.
As of Sunday, April 18th, the news reported 63,000 flights have been cancelled.
The movie is based on the 1973 Eldfell eruption of Iceland. Like in the movie the lava flow that threatened many homes and lives was stopped by water.
all flights cancelled.particles from the volcano blew across and this could be a prblem for airoplanes
the Iceland volcano in April 2010 lasted for about 30-40 seconds and the aftershock's were for weeks as no flights were able to fly out because of the ash clouds spread over many places.
There are many volcanoes in Iceland which erupt on a regular basis. Eyjafjallajökull was a small eruption by Icelandic standards, but its ash cloud disrupted flights in Europe and America -and that's probably why you've heard of it.
The name of the volcano that erupted in Iceland is Eyjafjallajökull.
