Nature will always show us who is in charge (GC in Irish Times)
22 April 2010 The Irish Times
Most people aren’t able to pronounce it, but the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland will long be remembered for the utter havoc it has wrought on air travel in Europe, with literally tens of thousands of flights cancelled, hundreds of thousands of people left stranded and countless millions of euro in revenue lost by the airlines.
GoldCore (which monitors gold prices) noted that “the economic ramifications of the Icelandic volcano for the already fragile euro-zone economy is being assessed, but it is safe to say that the severe disruption to travel which is affecting business travel, tourism, air freight and imports and exports in the euro zone will not help matters”.
