Despite the recent claims as to the restored air connection in Europe, two flights were called off in Yekaterinburg-based Koltsovo Airport on April 23, 2010. These were Yekaterinburg-Helsinki and Yekaterinburg-Frankfurt flights, the airport’s online announcement board states.

All in all, eight flights were cancelled in Koltsovo in one week due to the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, the volcano located within 200 km of Reykjavik, Iceland.
