UK Airspace Restrictions

[xxMATTGxx]

Well the ash was never going to go away fully, it affected Ireland some days back but now it's affecting certain parts of the UK.

Update on Sunday 16 May, 1030

The CAA’s no-fly zone required by the high density volcanic ash cloud will not affect London airports for the period 1300-1900 (local time) today.

The no-fly zone for this period has moved east to a line stretching from Prestwick on the west coast to Humberside on the east coast and south to a line just north of Birmingham. Airports which fall within the no-fly zone include all those in Northern Ireland, Ronaldsway, Prestwick, Carlisle, Manchester, Liverpool, Doncaster, Humberside, Leeds Bradford and East Midlands and some Scottish island airports including Campbeltown, Islay and Barra.

There are currently no other restrictions within UK airspace. According to information from the Irish Aviation Authority, Dublin will remain open until at least 0100 tomorrow (Monday) and Shannon until 2300 tonight.

We are working closely with the Met Office and with the CAA, which agrees no-fly zones based on Met Office data, and will issue any further notice on this website as necessary

So anyone who is travelling, expect travel delays!

Wonder if it will go on for as long as it did last time.. 2 years was it?

My Uncle's in Turkey right now on business, he's hoping the airports close so he can stay out there longer. Hope it clears up for August though!
