ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Alaska Airlines says it's resuming flights to and from Alaska after ash clouds cleared from the most recent eruption of Mount Redoubt.
Thirty-five flights were canceled through Tuesday morning because of six eruptions from the volcano about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage.
The airline's jets at the Anchorage airport were wrapped in a protective plastic sealant and unsealed Tuesday morning. The airline says the sealant protects aircraft from abrasive ash particles, which post a significant danger to engines.
Further eruptions could alter scheduled flights.
