Iceland really should give up smoking

volcano_ash_cloudThe high density area of the volcanic ash cloud is now lying to the north-west of the UK. Which is good, however like most of us i do wish Iceland would give up smoking..

As a result, there are currently no restrictions within UK airspace apart from those affecting Inverness, Wick, Kirkwall, Stornaway, Benbecula and Barra airports, which lie within the no-fly zone from 0700 (local) to 1300.

The volcano has become more active in recent days and flights are being re-routed north and south of the 1,200 mile (2,000km) long cloud.

On Saturday passengers at Heathrow Airport were told to expect delays of between 10 to 15 minutes to allow time to fly around the ash cloud.

We continue to maintain close dialogue with the Met Office and with the CAA, which agrees no-fly zones based on Met Office data, and will issue any further notice as necessary.
