New Delhi: Air India said Wednesday it has operated a flight from Frankfurt to Delhi but is yet to resume flights from London's Heathrow airport as European aviation authorities begin to lift days of restrictions caused by a cloud of volcanic ash.
"One of our aircraft was stranded in Frankfurt due to the airport closure and we received clearance to fly it back to India with the passengers," an Air India spokesman, who didn't wish to be named, told Dow Jones Newswires by telephone.
The nation's flag carrier has two planes stranded at Heathrow airport.
Air India said Tuesday it will use one of the planes to fly marooned passengers from London to Delhi and the other from London to Toronto, subject to clearances following the partial opening of European airspace.
The airline said it may also operate one flight to London from Mumbai on April 21.
The spokesman said Air India couldn't operate flights from London Tuesday as it didn't receive the necessary clearances. He didn't say when the approvals are likely to be given.
