Volcanic Ash Special - The Aftermath

This month's CNN Business Traveller looks back at the volcano that paralyzed air travel in April. We go behind the scenes and get the industry perspective of coping with the widespread disruption. We speak to Andrew Haines, CEO of the Civil Aviation Authority - the man who shut down UK airspace, rendering Heathrow, the world's busiest international airport, silent, and Giovanni Bisignani, Director-General of the International Air Transport Association, who strongly criticized aviation authorities for how long it took to re-open the airways. At the ferry port in Calais, CNN Business Traveller met the stranded passengers who couldn't wait any longer for the airspaces to open and went to extrordinary lengths to get to their final destinations.
