:shocked:

Complete shutdown from midday. No flights allowed into UK airspace from then and I'd assume nothing taking off either. Ireland is pretty well shut down as well.

If this goes on for long I imagine there'll be chaos for some time afterwards. We have a relative supposed to be flying back to NZ at the weekend.... :erm:

Just be glad that the major part of the cloud has missed Europe altogether.. It's gone north of Norway

Awww sorry to hear that Tinks, fingers crossed he's back home soon!

I don't know... first we have the fallout from Iceland's banks to deal with an now it's fallout from their volcanoes... :)

My brother is meant to be flying back from Amsterdam tonight and then to Spain tomorrow evening. Got a feeling it isn't going to happen.
