Dozens of Europe-bound flights from South Korea were canceled for a fourth day Monday, as ash from a volcanic eruption in Iceland continued to disrupt flights across Europe, airline officials said.

According to officials at Incheon International Airport, 32 flights -- 13 outbound and 19 inbound -- scheduled to and from Europe were canceled as of 9 a.m.

A total of 122 flights to Europe have been canceled since Friday, according to airline companies.

Air services across northern Europe were suspended when a volcano erupted in Iceland last week, creating an enormous ash cloud that stretched over much of the region.
