Volcanic ash diverts Iranian flights

Iran Air flights to London from Tehran have made emergency landing at Frankfurt Airport due to ash of cloud covering London's Heathrow Airport airspace.

Iran Air passengers might travel to London tomorrow morning if the weather conditions improve.

A Mahan Air flight had also to make an emergency landing at Dusseldorf Airport. A Mahan Air official in England (Birmingham) said that the Iranian passengers were transferred to Birmingham on buses.

The passengers of Iranian airlines to Europe have been asked to receive information about the status of their flights before going to the airport.

More than 500,000 passengers a day fly in and out of the UK on around 5,300 daily flights. Experts say the chaos, which is already spreading across Europe, could last for days.

Weather forecasters predicted that the ash, high in the sky and difficult to detect, could spread to southern Europe after crossing the UK.
