The flight ban issued for Hamburg and Bremen was lifted at midday after six hours. It remained in place for Berlin's two airports, Tegel and Schönefeld, which were closed between 11am and 2pm local time, the German air traffic control authority said.
Flights from Frankfurt were also affected, with domestic passengers for affected Lufthansa flights being given replacement rail tickets where possible. There were knock-on effects for travellers in the southern airports of Stuttgart, Munich and Nuremberg.
The closures caused anger among many passengers who thought they were unnecessary. This belief seemed to be confirmed when the scientific research centre Jülich issued a statement saying the concentration of ash in the current cloud appeared much lower than last year.
The number of German flights affected was not clear, but aviation authorities said at least 270 flights were cancelled in Bremen and Hamburg alone.
