Its sad , that Iceland will close two airports on Friday for the first time, a week after ash from an Icelandic volcano forced the shutdown of airspace over much of Europe and stranded thousands of passengers around the world . Many people were held back from traveling to Europe .Even though the ash cloud originated in Iceland, the country's airports have been spared from closure until now. Strong northwest winds had been blowing ash from the volcano, in the south of Iceland, out to sea and over Europe.The good news is that the winds have died down,but the cloud is still lingering around Iceland . I hope everything goes back to normal , but until then people have to be re-routed through the Akureyri airport . As it is at its peak, the crisis affected 1.2 million passengers a day and 29 percent of all global aviation !
