Take off but land at your own risk, airline tells fliers

Mumbai: The only airline that resumed flights from India to Europe on Tuesday did so with a rider.
Passengers of two British Airways flights to London were told that in case the flights could not land in London and had to be diverted to Europe, the airline would no longer be responsible for them. Volcanic ash in European skies has disrupted air traffic for six days.
"Before boarding the flight, airline staff told us we would have to manage on our own if the flight was diverted. We were allowed to board only after we accepted the conditions,” said Thangam Nair (72), Mulund resident, before boarding the flight with her husband and daughter.
"If a flight lands in a country other than the UK, passengers without the Schengen visa will be stranded,” said a travel agent requesting anonymity.
