AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch airline operator KLM, part of Air France-KLM, has cancelled 16 flights scheduled to fly to and from four British cities due to ash from an Icelandic volcano, KLM said on Monday.

The flights to and from Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle would be cancelled on Tuesday morning because the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre expected the cloud of ash to arrive over Scotland and Northern England, KLM said in a statement.
