Airlines are on alert as one of Iceland’s biggest volcanoes rumbles to life, threatening ash clouds that could force flight cancellations across the North Atlantic, the busiest international travel market.
Air France, Deutsche Lufthansa AG and Delta Air Lines Inc. are among carriers watching Bardarbunga volcano for an eruption, the latest in a series of actual or potential hazards to interfere with commercial air routes. Iceland’s Civil Protection Agency began evacuating the area north of the volcano yesterday.
