Volcanic ash has grounded thousands of planes across Europe and wrecked havoc on travel plans around the world.
The disruptions that closed European airports on Thursday are even worse on Friday, according to Eurocontrol, the European air traffic agency. Delays are expected to continue well into Saturday as the ash cloud moves slowly south and east.
Steve Lott, head of North American communications for the International Air Transport Association, joined us for an online discussion on the disruptions.
