Travellers are still stranded in many airports across Europe, as vast areas of the continent's airspace remaines closed due to the volcanic ash from Iceland.

 

Travel in Europe continued to be severely disrupted by the volcanic eruption on Sunday.

In Germany, Lufthansa said it is canceling all domestic flights until 11 AM Monday and all international flights until 2 PM on Monday. The company has started to take stranded passengers home by coach, with services from Frankfurt to London, Paris and Madrid.

Sobhia Latif, British Tourist, said, "We're really tired, really sort of, got no energy. But we're happy that we're going home, that's all we want, to go home, back to our own country..."

In France, more than two dozens of airports have been closed since Thursday. People are queuing at the Eurolines bus depot in Paris.

Frustrated European travellers have also been stranded in Thailand, Israel, and other tourist destinations worldwide.

Eurocontrol, which monitors European air navigation and air safety said that Sunday had been the worst day for European flights so far.

Brian Flynn, Deputy Head of Operation, Eurocontrol, said, "Today it has been, I would say the worst situation so far. We will only have about four thousand out of 24 thousand flights operating today. And more or less 80 percent of the European continent area is covered by the is subject to airspace restrictions and closures at the moment."

Eurocontrol said in a statement released by the end of the day that more than 63-thousand flights will have been cancelled since April 15th.
