Prague airport recovers, only twenty percent of scheduled flights cancelled on Wednesday

A spokeswoman for Prague’s Ruzyně airport said that eighty percent of flights scheduled for Wednesday will go ahead. Three-hundred-twenty flights are expected to depart or arrive at Prague’s international airport on Wednesday, including some connections to London, which has seen very limited service in the past few days. The French airline France KLM has cancelled all its connections between Paris and Prague, leaving many Czechs stranded in France. Airport officials expect flights from and to Ruzyně to return to normal capacity by the end of the week. The airport closed down for three days on Friday, after a cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland spread over the continent.
