The latest news is that interruptions in air travel are likely to continue in an unpredictable fashion for months or even years.

Confronted by uncertainty, the travelling public is voting with its feet. Eurotunnel has observed a change in customer behaviour since the Icelandic volcanic eruption in April and the recent developments which caused the cancellation of more than one thousand flights to and from European airports on 17 May. Both Heathrow and Gatwick airports were closed from the evening of 16 May until the afternoon of 17 May. Amsterdam Schipol airport, one of Europe's main transit hubs, cancelled 500 flights and left 60,000 passengers stranded.
