Where Can I Find Info About Flight Disrupting Volcanoes
Volcanoes are the latest things that are disrupting air travel
. In Europe in the middle of 2010 an Icelandic volcano erupted causing massive disruption and delay to air travel from the east coast of Canada all the way to the west edge of Russia.
The volcano caused delay due to the ash that the volcano was spewing. It is dangerous for aircraft to fly through clouds of ash that have a very high concentration of particles that could harm the aircraft's engines so often flights had to be cancelled. This has also happened in Central America and in the Indonesian islands in 2010 as well. So next time a volcano decides to interrupt the world's travel plans and hits flights from Houston to Las Vegas you need to make sure that you are ready to find out exactly what the status of your flight is.
The best source of information about the volcano is the media. They will be able to provide very broad analyses in the week running up to your flight of exactly what the volcano's activities look like, and whether it's likely that the disruption will continue for many weeks or whether it seems like flights from Miami to Rio de Janeiro will be able to go ahead after all.
Your next port of call to find out information about the volcano should be your own airline's website itself. There you'll be able to input your flight number and find out in the days running up to your flights scheduled departure whether there is likely to be a delay or whether the airline industry and weather agencies are so concern that they have already cancelled flights from Los Angeles to Belize City due to concerns about the level of ash. Failing that, head to airport where you'll be able to get more information about the nature and extent of the disruption.
