CLEAN: France to repatriate travellers 'within 48 hours': minister

Nearly all of French passengers paralysed in their travel plans by the Icelandic volcano eruption should be back in the country in the next 48 hours, the country's environment minister, Jean-Louis Borloo, said. Priority would be given to long-haul flights, he said, adding that he hoped 60 percent of mid-haul flights would also be allowed to take off. On Tuesday, roughly 90 percent of long-haul traffic in and out of France was operating. Paris France (Footage by AFPTV via Getty Images)
