Air Canada advises that as a result of the spread of volcanic ash over Europe due to volcanic activity in Iceland, a number of airports have closed and airspace has been restricted until further notice.

Flights have been cancelled today to and from the following airports served by Air Canada:

London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, Geneva, Rome and Tel Aviv. Air Canada will continue to provide updates on aircanada.com as further information becomes available.

Customers with bookings on flights to or from affected areas are advised to check on the status of the flight prior to tendering freight by consulting the Air

Canada website at aircanada.com, or by calling Air Canada's automated flight information system at 1-888-422-7533, or by using a web-enhanced cell phone.

Due to increased call centre volume, wait times may be longer than usual.

Freight currently on hand will be re-accommodated by Air Canada Cargo on the next available flight once service resumes.

Air Canada is closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates accordingly.
