Kingfisher Airlines and Jet Airways on Thursday cancelled their flights to London while Air India postponed its services to Toronto and London, which were to take off tonight as airspace was closed over several North European airports due to drifting ash from a volcano in Iceland.
While Kingfisher cancelled all its flights to London from Mumbai and Delhi for today, Jet cancelled two flights from the two Indian metropolises and one from London to Delhi, their spokespersons said.
Air India's Mumbai-London flight and Delhi-London-Toronto flight will take off only after the air operations at Heathrow airport resumes, its spokesman said.
The long-haul non-stop flights from Delhi and Mumbai, which were scheduled to leave tonight, have also been deferred for Friday morning due to volcanic ashes on the flight path, he said.
Passengers have been advised to call the airline office to know their flight schedule before proceeding for airports, he added.
However, Air India operated three of its flights, two from Mumbai and Delhi and one from London to Mumbai, before the volcanic ash disrupted flights.
