Eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland
The ash cloud from the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland caused a significant impact on aviation in April and May 2010. In just the period between April 14 and 21, more than 100,000 flights were cancelled, with more than $1.7 billion in lost revenues for airlines and more than 10 million stranded...
