Flights cancelled at Prague airport as problems in wake of volcanic eruption continue

Though Czech air space is now open, airlines have been forced to cancel a number of flights as problems caused by volcanic ash from Iceland continue. A spokesperson for Prague’s Ruzyně said that 170 planes would take off from and land at the airport on Tuesday, around 60 fewer than originally planned for the day. All of the Czech Republic's international airports are now in operation, after Karlovy Vary resumed flights on Tuesday. Czech air space was closed for some days after a cloud of ash was released by the eruption of a volcano in Iceland, complicating air travel over much of Europe.
