Flights from Istanbul to the UK and other Europe destinations have been cancelled due to the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland, which mainly caused major disruption at UK airports, and grounded many other European flights

After a major disruption in UK flights from İstanbul, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and France have also been added to the list. A vast number of stranded passengers are being placed at hotels around airports, while there is no prediction about when flights will be resuming their normal schedule.

The volcanic eruption in Iceland spewed black smoke and white steam into the air on Wednesday, leaving several British airports closed on the following day. A massive cloud of ash from an erupting volcano in Iceland drifted into Britain’s airspace. About 150 flights were cancelled as first reaction at one of the world’s busiest Heathrow Airport. Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast and Newcastle airports were also completely shut.
