The volcanic ash isn't only affecting us in Britain

Aschewolke sorgt für Flug-Chaos

Island_dunkle_wolke 
 Eine dunkele Aschewolke steigt aus dem Vulkan auf.

Bei uns kann man sie nicht sehen, aber sie sorgt für Flug-Chaos in Europa: eine riesige Aschewolke. Seit Mittwoch spuckt ein Vulkan in Island die Asche hoch in die Luft. Durch den Wind wird sie über weite Gebiete Europas, auch über Deutschland, getrieben. Weil die Asche Flugzeuge beschädigen könnte, fallen mehr als die Hälfte der Flüge in Europa aus.

Viele Flughäfen gesperrt

Seit Freitag waren alle Flughäfen in Deutschland gesperrt. Am Sonntag durften zeitweise ein paar Flugzeuge losfliegen, bis Montagabend gilt nun wieder Flugverbot. Auch in anderen Ländern Europas stehen die Flugzeuge still - zum Beispiel auf vielen Flughäfen in Frankreich, Großbritannien und Polen. Tausende Menschen wissen nicht, wie sie weiterkommen sollen. Viele sind schon auf die Bahn umgestiegen, doch viele Züge sind momentan überfüllt.

Carry on reading here: logo! Aschewolke
