Ash cloud grounds flights in South America
Several airlines, including British Airways, have been forced to cancel flights to and from South America due to a volcanic eruption in Chile.
The Puyehue-Cordon-Caulle volcano range in Chile began erupting last Saturday and an ash cloud from the volcano is now hanging over the Argentine capital Buenos Aires, 850 miles away.
All flights to and from Beunos Aires were cancelled today and services to other parts of Argentina, including Patagonia, and Uruguay have also been affected.
The Argentine transport secretariat said the situation may improve this afternoon.
