NARITA, Chiba Pref. — Europeans stranded at Narita International Airport expressed fatigue and frustration Monday after spending four days riding out the travel chaos caused by Iceland's volcanic ash.

German student Ailine Trometer, 21, ran out of money soon after arriving at the airport on Friday.

"I ran out of money and food. My parents put some money in my bank account, but it's a very difficult situation," said Trometer, who was trying to get home after spending two months as an intern at Yamaha Motor Co. in Shizuoka Prefecture.
