The International Air Transport Association (IATA) estimated that the Icelandic volcano crisis has cost airlines more than $1.2 billion in lost revenue during the three-day period between 17-19 April, 2010. The figure of $1.2 billion is based on the calculated assumption of shortfalls in excess of 400 million per day average losses.
