Air India will restore its normal operations to the UK, Frankfurt and Toronto from tomorrow with the opening up of the London airport after widespread disruption in the last six days caused by volcanic ash from Iceland.

."In addition to the US flights, Air India would be operating Delhi-London, Mumbai-London, Delhi-Frankfurt and Amritsar-Delhi-London-Toronto flights from tomorrow," an Air India spokesperson said.

Additional cockpit and cabin crew are in a position to start extra flights, if needed, to clear up the backlog of stranded passengers, he said.

The national carrier will resume its Delhi-Paris flight this evening.
       
An Air India aircraft, which was stranded for the past six days at Frankfurt, has taken off and is expected to arrive here today.
       
One of the two Boeing-777 aircraft stuck at London's Heathrow airport has left for Toronto while other to Amritsar to carry the stranded passengers.
       
Five of Air India's flights were stuck at various airports in Europe and the US after flight operations were suspended.
