Transport Ministers of the EU member states are holding Monday a video conference in an attempt to figure out how to alleviate the air traffic disruption caused by the Iceland volcanic ash.
As of Monday morning, the airspace of Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland, and the UK remains closed.
Bulgaria, France, Italy, Norway, Poland and Sweden have their airspace partially open, while the airports in Greece, Lithuania, Portugal, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, and Spain operate normally.
