2.Ash Cloud Halts More Flights to Russia

Ed Bently

The Moscow News

HEARTHROW AIRPORT, London - A volcanic ash cloud over Britain caused more chaos for Russian travelers after flights to Moscow were cancelled from Saturday night over fears for passenger safety.

But the last- minute cancellation of several flights prompted anger among passengers scheduled to travel from Heathrow to Domodedovo on last night's 10:35 pm departure operated by Transaero and BMI.

The flight was cancelled less than an hour before take-off, with all passengers checked in and waiting to board. One customer described it as " ridiculous" that they had not been told beforehand.

Anger and Confusion

And there was anger and confusion that Aeroflot flight to Sheremetyevo had taken off moments before the BMI cancellation , while a 10^30 pm flight to Israel was still scheduled to leave.

A BMI custumer service official, who declined to give his name, said the campany did not know the reason for the cancellation but suggested that the British airline would not want to risk its plane being stranded in Moscow for several days.

At the boarding desk a flight attendant simply gave the " as h cloud" as the reason for the cancellation.

Staff at BMI's customer service desk were busy finding hotel rooms for stranded fliers but guests would be asked to cheek out at airport would close as the cloud continues to spread.

PPassengers were being offered seat on planes on Monday but at one of BMI's desks the advice was that services are unlikely to get off the ground in the morning and may not reopen until Wednesday.

By Monday morning heathrow announced that flight operations were expected to resume at 7 am ( 10 am Moscow time) , and BMI- Transaero services to Moscow were scheduled to depart normal on Monday morning. However, airport bosses also warned of severe disruption to service as Britain's air traffic controller imposed strict restrictions on flight numbers in and out of the world's business airport.

But the potential misery for travelers is not over yet-as the ash cloud drifted away from Britain ,Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport announced it would close from 6 am local time. Like HEATHROW, Schipol is a major international hub.

Delayed Reaction

Moscow's airports seemed slow o react to the latest closures- the web site for Sheremetyevo Airport reported no problems with the scheduled 10:25 am departure for Amsterdam-even through on Schipol's site it was already cancelled, with a warning for all passengers to stay away from the airport and wait for further news.

Rhys Jones, who had already experienced difficulties getting to London from Dublin in order to make the 10: 35 pm flight, was optimistic he would be able to arrive in Moscow by Tuesday for the start of an international rugby tournament.

HE told The Moscow News that he would stay in a hotel provided by BMI before trying his luck on Monday but was disappointed by how late they'd the announcement that the service would not be running.( The Moscow News, No . 18,2010,p6)

Task 1: Read these statements and decide whether they are True, False, or Not Stated:

1. The flight from Heathrow to Domodedovo was cancelled a few hours before take-off.

2. The main reason explained to the passengers was an " ashcloud"

3. Many passengers got angry and confused.

4. As a result of the cancellation they made quite a lot of complains.

5. Moscow's airports had a slow reaction , so the web site didn't say anything about the flight cancellation.

6. Mr Rhys Jones was able to change the schedule of an international rugby tournament.

7. Mr Rhys Jones planned to arrive in Moscow on Tuesday.

8. BMI offered Mr. Jones a hotel room.

Task 2. Discuss the following:

1. What was the real reason for flight cancellation?

2. Have you ever flown by plane? If yes, has there ever been a flight cancellation or a dealy?

3. Discuss all the possibilities with your partner.
