Iceland closes Keflavik International

Iceland has closed Keflavik International Airport due to volcanic ash. The national carrier Icelandair will move all its transatlantic traffic temporarily to Glasgow in Scotland. Flights from Europe will be re-routed to their final destination via Glasgow. Icelandair will operate the Boston and New York flights directly from Glasgow. Passengers traveling to and from Iceland will have the option of flying to and from Akureyri Airport which is 4 hours drive from Reykjavik. Icelandair is unable to say when the airport will be re-opened. www.icelandair.is
