ArmInfo. As of April 19, 16 passenger flights were cancelled in
Armenia, the General Civil Aviation Department at the Government of
Armenia reported.
The flights have been cancelled since April 15. Ten of the sixteen
cancelled flights to Europe were those of Armavia air carrier. To
recall the volcano under the icecap at Eyjafjallajokull had minor
activity in March but a major eruption on April 14, 2010 impaired air
traffic. The air traffic agency Eurocontrol says that starting April
16 over 10000 flights are cancelled in European countries every day.
On April 19 nearly 8.7 thousand flights were made in the European
air space instead of scheduled 28,000.
