The snow-covered Mount Redoubt of Alaska was still puffing steam, but remained quite on Tuesday, after two days of six explosive eruptions, releasing huge plumes of ash and steam out of its vent. The volcano was still puffing steam, but that was not powerful enough to block the passenger flights in the region, and thus the flights were resumed.

The Anchorage Daily News reported that Alaska Airlines has resumed flights to and from Alaska after ash clouds cleared from the most recent eruption of Mount Redoubt.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Thirty-five flights were called off through Tuesday morning because of six eruptions from the volcano about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage. The newspaper reported that aircraft were wrapped in a protective plastic sealant and stationed overnight in Anchorage to protect them from the abrasive ash particles.

Earlier, the airline Chief Executive Officer Ben Minicucci said, "We are continuing to closely (monitor) the weather and ash from Mount Redoubt to assess our ability to safely operate flights in and out of Alaska, and may make further adjustments to our schedule if conditions change.”

John Power, Alaska Volcano Observatory geophysicist, reported that the largest ash cloud rose 60,000 feet high. He said, "That's about as high as they go.” The ash fall advisory for Susitna Valley and the Bristol Bay area to the west was issued by the National Weather Service.

The Alaska Airlines has notified that the passengers booked on a canceled flight between March 22 and March 24 may re-book before March 30 without penalty or may apply for a full refund of the unused portion of their ticket. However, the airline has clarified that further eruptions could alter scheduled flights.

The Alaska Volcano Observatory scientists cautioned that it’s not all over yet at Mount Redoubt volcano. The scientists predicted that “another big eruption at Redoubt is on its way -- within days”.
