Airport Closures in Europe - Web Site?
 
Do you know of a site that would tell which airports are closed due to the volcano? Thanks.

This one was listed on another thread:

But would like to see a list.

The BBC has a list of countries affected:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8626505.stm

But it doesn't specify the airports in those countries only partially affected.

Thank you for that link. My son was supposed to leave this morning from Geneva to Milan. Last night the airport was still open to flights going to Rome and Nice. Haven't heard anything this morning so waiting to hear.

Link to Geneva airport:

He didn't get out. Stuck in France. Poor poor baby. On per diem, too.

Geneva to Milan is not that far; can he take a train instead? It's only about 300 km.

Vell, since he is the pilot I guess not. lol
