The International Air Transport Association has lifted the ban on flights after safety tests that showed plane engines could cope in areas of low density ash.
Global airlines have lost about $1.7bn (£1.1bn) of revenue as a result of the disruptions caused by the Icelandic volcanic eruption
Over 1.2 million passengers a day were affected.
But after a six day shutdown in the UK, flights are taking off again.
And while the airlines have faced many costs, they have also been able to save, approximately $110m a day on fuel while planes were not flying.
This is an interesting article, and I am not sure how this really applies to class but pretty crazy to see how much the airlines lost in this week. All because of a volcano
