Iceland Volcano: Spain ready to help 70, 000 stranded Brits

FOCUS Information Agency - The Spanish government on Monday said its airports would be used to get 70,000 stranded Britons home around the ash cloud that has paralysed European air traffic, AFP reports.

"We are going to give as many flight authorisations as Spain is capable of handling," Spain's Transport Minister Jose Blanco said on national radio.

Blanco said that Spain was already working with the British government "to facilitate the 70,000 people from Britain who are in North America getting home through Spain."
