ICELAND-VOLCANO-AVIATION-ERUPTION
This handout picture captured by NASA?s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the Terra satellite on May 11, 2010 shows Iceland?s Eyjafjallajokull volcano continuing to emit a dense plume of ash and steam. The volcanic ash cloud forced the shutdown Tuesday of airports for the first time in north Africa and the Canaries and southern Spain, as it drifted as far as Turkish airspace. While most European air travel was "close to normal" on Tuesday, the continent's air traffic agency Eurocontrol said, restrictions and airport closures caused flight cancellations as winds pushed volcanic ash in the atmosphere into new territory. Eight airports on Morocco's north and west coasts, including Rabat and Casablanca, were shut down, the first time the cloud of ash that has caused air traffic chaos in Europe over the past month has affected north Africa's airspace.
