I'm tempted to get the Eurostar out to France and then train down to Spain, just so I can get rescued by some cute sailor boys ;)

I have to admit I am tempted by this once in a lifetime opportunity to take a trip on an aircraft carrier :)

looks like willy walsh is playing a dangerous game to me



I don't think he's taking account of the accumulative effect of repeatedly flying through ash clouds which a lot of planes would do
As a PR stunt, it's right up there with ... oh, say, sending the Royal Navy's three biggest ships on a 'rescue' mission to collect a few dozen vote - err - citizens from northern France...

"Emirates continues to provide hotel accommodation in Dubai for thousands of passengers who were in transit when the disruption began"
If my daughter had been allowed to board the flight home she was booked on, she would be lording it up in Dubai, not getting stressed out in Sydney at her cost. :-(

Latest from Sky News

Quote:
Air traffic control company Nats has lifted restrictions for Scotland and parts of the north of England from 7am on Tuesday.

Manchester Airport is to open at 9am and Newcastle International at 7am but passengers are being warned to contact their airline before travelling to the airport.
Sky sources understand airspace in the Midlands will reopen at 12pm and in the southern UK at 6pm.

It is understood that UK airports will then be allowed to conduct operations 24 hours a day until the flight situation returns to normal.
This last bit will upset people.

But I feel for the good of the country these people need to be home with families, and then back to work.

I'm just hearing on the radio that the Met Office is saying that, due to increased volcanic activity, there's a large new ash cloud heading south east towards the UK.

We're all doomed,...... doomed to die like rats in a trap.... :shocked:

all thanks to NATS!

If this were a 'SUPER' volcano then there would be enough Ash to block out the sun for way over a year, then we would all be dead :D Nature is pretty cool!

Latest information from the Met Office shows that the situation is worsening in some areas. Based on this information, the situation for Northern Irish airports for the morning is uncertain, due to the new ash cloud.

The latest information shows that Scottish airports should be available from 0700 and more airspace over England may become available from 1300 although not as far south as the main London airports.

We will continue to monitor Met Office information and the situation is likely to change overnight. We will make a further statement at approximately 3am tomorrow, Tuesday 20 April and again at 9am.

Some would say that Volcano has done more for immigration in a few days than the Government have managed in 13Yr`s.

It's not looking good for the people in Europe at the moment, my sister has been stuck in Tenerife since Thursday morning. Like many other people out there she's running out of money and fast. She's OK on the accommodation front because her friend owns an apartment out there but no one is telling them anything.
