European flights still remain grounded due to the volcanic ash that Iceland's volcano has emitted. the European aviation agency claims that the volcanic ash will still cause flights to be delayed for the next 24 hours. These delays and cancellations have resulted in millions of air travelers being stranded and airlines losing 200 M a day due to the unexpected shutdown. As of today, Saturday, 16,000 flights across Europe are said to be delayed. Northern France and Italy have shutdown their airports until Monday. Commuters and business travelers who are unable to catch flights have crowded the other means of transportation including trains, ferries, and buses.
