More delays as planes return to skies

The first airplane since last Thursday has landed in Heathrow. Passangers were not able to fly to their destinations,because of the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull on Thursday. The ash in the atmosphere was a threat to aircraft jet engines. Scientist say that the ash plume is now shrinking. However it is still not completely save for the air traffic. More than 95,000 flights were cancelled across Europe over the past six days, with only a handful of flights taking off and landing at UK airports. About 75% of European flights are due to operate on Wednesday, according to the air traffic agency Eurocontrol. An estimated 150,000 Britons were stuck on the airport in England.

I feel pretty bad for the people who had to wait on the aiports. However, it was the best thing to do. The ash in the atnosphere was a threat to aircraft jet engines and there could have been a lot of accidents. So, it was safer for the people to stay at the aiport and wait. Although, it most have been a long time for them. Fortunately there were a lot of people who were at the aiport to help them. It will still take some time for the air traffic before they can fly without any problems. However, most problems are now solved.
