A cloud of volcanic ash disrupted flights across the Southern Hemisphere and threatened to postpone the start of the Copa America soccer tournament next month as teams face delays in arriving to Argentina.
Flights in and out of Buenos Aires’s Ezeiza and Aeroparque international airports were canceled after authorities reversed plans to reopen them yesterday, affecting travel to cities including Paris, Houston, Sao Paulo, Atlanta and Miami. Qantas Airways Ltd. said it will pare Australia flights for a fourth day as the volcanic ash cloud spreads away from Chile.
