Air traffic has again been affected by the  ash cloud from Iceland. Flights from the Amsterdam's Schiphol airport destined for America and the Caribbean are latest flights to be delayed.

According to an airport spokesperson Monday, almost all flights to that area have been delayed upwards of two hours.

A large ash cloud has been driving across the Atlantic ocean after Iceland's erupting Eyjafjallajokul volcano. Aircrafts are now forced to fly around the cloud to reach their destinations, creating longer flights and delays the spokesperson explained. 

Passengers flying within Europe are also feeling the effects.Delays are also expected to affect destinations in Spain and Portugal.
