A Reanalysis of Aviation Effects from Volcano Eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in 2010
The eruption of Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull in April 2010 had a tremendous impact on global air traffic and led to 48% canceled flights. This corresponds to 10 million stranded passengers and a loss of approximately 1.5 – 2.5 billion euros for the airlines in just a few days. Within DLR'...

The eruption of Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull in April 2010 had a tremendous impact on global air traffic and led to 48% canceled flights. This corresponds to 10 million stranded passengers and a loss of approximately 1.5 – 2.5 billion euros for the airlines in just a few days. Within DLR's project VolcATS (Volcanic ash impact on the Air Transportation System) the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in 2010 is reprocessed. One of the project's goals is to minimize the impact on air traffic. This contribution shows for one particular scenario the results from simulation trials with varying configurations. Optimization criteria in use are number of flights and flight duration. The target date of consideration is the 17th April 2010 when the ash covered main parts of Europe.
