Flights to 3 Turkish cities suspended

Turkey's Transport Ministry says flights to three cities on Turkey's Black Sea coast have been suspended due to the ash cloud drifting over Europe.

Ali Ariduru, the official in charge of civil aviation, says the ash cloud has began to affect Turkish airspace. Airspace above the cities of Zonguldak, Sinop and Samsun have been closed until 0900 GMT Monday. (AP)
