Jet Airways Kingfisher Cancel Flights To Europe

NEW DELHI,INDIA NEWS, Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines today cancelled their flights to the UK and other parts of Europe in the wake of huge clouds of volcanic ash emanating from Iceland.

Air India and Jet would, however, operate their flights to the US and Canada by taking a diversion, officials in the airlines said.

An Air India spokesman said the airline will operate its flights from Delhi to New York and New York to Delhi and also Mumbai-New York and New York-Mumbai flights with a diversion through a polar route. A polar route refers to an aircraft route across the uninhabited polar ice cap region.

Jet Airways has also started its Delhi-Toronto and Mumbai-New York flights with a technical stop over at Athens in Greece.
