DUE TO CANCELLED FLIGHTS OVER EUROPE Niles, April 19th 2010 - 2:30 PM The terrible news that took front page in all European newspapers during the last week, pertaining to the Volcano in Iceland, has hit extremely hard the American Romanian Tourism and Trade Show (ARTTS) scheduled to take place this week in Chicago at Navy Pier, on April 22nd and 23rd. Over twenty companies from Romania scheduled to come at ARTTS and exhibit their products and services have been forced to delay their arrival due to impossibility of travel. Their products and display materials are blocked in Munich, Germany, with no chance to reach Chicago for at least another week. All Romanian officials that planned to come to ARTTS, senators and members of the Parliament, government representatives and the Secretary of State - head of the Department for the Romanians Abroad, have been told that their travel arrangements are cancelled for the time being as all flights over the European continent are cancelled. Also, our special guests entertainers from Romania can not come for the same reason: no flights in or out of Romania.
