After the unprecedented shut down of Europe air traffic due to an ash plume in Iceland, flights are finally resuming. Eurocontrol estimates that by Wednesday April 21, 75% of normally scheduled flights will be operational again. However it will take weeks for the enormous backlog of air freight to clear up. Some airlines are still placing restrictions on the type of cargo they are moving. IATA estimates that the flight bans have cost the airlines more that $1.7 billion as of April 20.
