LONDON, April 21, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 20th, Toluna launched a QuickSurvey to 1,000 UK-based respondents to understand the impact of the recent volcanic eruptions on travel. We found that while the majority were not personally affected, most agreed that the NATC made the right decision to close airports and suspend flights.

Approximately 19% stated they would be concerned about the impact of suspended travel on their job, while another 31% said they would enjoy the extra time they had abroad.

While many were inconvenienced this week, more than 62% of respondents said that a world without international flights would have a negative impact on our economy and business.
