New Delhi: The volcanic ash over Europe has led to major disruptions of flights going to Europe and US at the Delhi international airport. Disruptions are expected to continue till next week. Worried passengers are lining up not knowing when will they fly next to their destinations in Europe and US. To add to their woes some of the airport officials are passing the buck to the respective airlines and the uncertainty of the next available flight is making the situation chaotic.

Meanwhile, about 900 passengers are stranded at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport due to the closure of European airspace. The passengers, most of whom were to fly by Jet Airways, are demanding priority booking from the airline which it is not offering. All Kingfisher flights to and fro Heathrow have been cancelled.
