Air India only airline to take off for London

New Delhi: All flights except those of Air India from the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi to London’s Heathrow Airport, were cancelled in the wake of a volcanic eruption in Iceland.
Three flights, one each of Virgin Atlantic (VS-301), Kingfisher Airlines (IT-001) and Jet Airways (9W-122), to the Heathrow airport were cancelled after the flight operations there were badly affected due to ash from the volcano, an airport official said. Only Air India flight (AI-111) operated as per schedule.
“We operated our flight to London as we did not have any official information about the closure of Heathrow Airport...,” an airline official said.
A Kingfisher spokesperson said, “We are providing full refund to those who do not wish to travel. Also we are providing the facility of rebooking without any charges to the passengers.”
