Didn't read his first post, but w/e. I'm surprised because I didn't expect this, In fact I didn't really expect it to erupt until a few more decades... Hopefully it will end soon because I want to go on vacation soon... :|Quote:

However, flights in Northern Ireland and the Western Isles of Scotland to and from Glasgow and Prestwick may be allowed up to 1300 today, subject to individual co-ordination. North Atlantic traffic to and from Glasgow, Prestwick and Belfast may also be allowed over the same period.
Wow, it's beautiful. It don't look like a place where people live, do people live there?Quote:

The estimated population as of December 1st 2009 was 317,593. Making it the 175th biggest country in the world.
You can see ash from here in newcastle, went to the beach.. youu can see the tinge of white in a sky with no clouds.
This is mainly for health and safety, you dont want people flying out of the plan ^_^
All airports may be closed all Weekend!
It's been confirmed that all airspace is closed until 7am tomorrow at least. Some Scottish airports maybe allowing some flights due to the cloud movement.
I think northern island may open tomorrow, you never know.
I'm pretty sure the time just got pushed to 1pm from 7am. Honestly I don't see serious movement until a few more days. Airlines were already in a mess, I know its a nature disaster but I'd really not want to be an investor in transport, unless of course its trains or ships. They're having a whale of a time right now.
hm could the ask really ground nearly the whole or europes airspace? or could it be a bit more than this?
Well a few planes are cleared at the moment, its estimated that shorter craft that fly from Ireland at 1,500FT are unrestricted, because the majority of harmful ash found is about 20,000FT to 40,000FT. All the big jets travel at 30,000FT.
That smoke stuff is still floating around? Isn't it going to take weeks for that stuff to completely clear out?
It has grounded most of europes aircraft, all planes to America, are obstructed.
Well duh, I knew that. I was just asking how long would it take for it all to fall?
well most flights are back tomorrow around 6am...however it could still take a matter of months to disappear
Yea, that's what I thought lol. Good thing I don't fly XD
I hope if it is tomorrow, its an educated decision. Probably is, what the fuck do I know but, engine troubles during a flight will be quite a shock.
Yea.. I know what you mean.
All flights have been prosponed from 6AM to 1PM , as a met office plane will be sent out around airports to check for any ash.
PROSPONED YET AGAIN!
TOMORROW 7am to 1PM airspace may be re-opened, due to more volcanic ash being blown from the volcano.
It appears most of it has blown over. I've spent the weekend camping at the scottish border, and I'm sunburnt. Sunburnt!
