chile volcanic ash delays Sydney flights

Volcanic ash from the eruption of Mt Puyehue Cordon Caulle volcano in Chile continues to cause flight disruptions to the Qantas network.
tens of thousands of people were stranded as airlines grounded flights, and now the ash has returned. The plume is said to be too low this time for airlines to fly under it. The ash cloud from Chile's Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano is circling the Earth for a second time.
Last week, some airlines, such as Virgin Australia, flew below and around the ash cloud, but this time they have been advised against doing so.
