Ash cloud causes travel chaos as more airports close

Oh hey remember this disaster?
It's still going on.

Thousands of travellers have been left stranded by the cancellation of hundreds of passenger services.

Flights have been grounded in Glasgow, Prestwick and Derry since 0700 BST, while the airspace over Dublin, Belfast and Edinburgh has also since closed.


And there was confusion when passengers seemed uncertain as to which airports were operating flights - a problem highlighted by Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond.

Airspace above Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland remained closed all day.

Glasgow was just one of a number of major airports where flights were grounded.
