Australia and New Zealand flights back up after ash cloud grounds planes

Travellers from the UK, who caught flights to Australia or flights to New Zealand and found themselves caught up in the chaos of the ash cloud, have received welcome news.

Airlines have once again resumed flights as they begin the tough challenge of shifting through the backlog of flights.

The grounding of flights was caused by strong winds carrying ash cloud spewing out of Chile's Puyehue volcano.

New Zealand said that it was safe for airlines to fly up to 27,000 feet, 7,000 more than Sunday's original restriction.
