Volcanic ash looking like it MAY be a problem over UK airspace in the next 48 hours

[Icy Gull]

Oh shit, here we go again?

Anyone got flights booked in the next week or so?

All a bit non commital on the news

BBC News - Ash from Icelandic volcano

 

[Easy 10]

Iceland should be fined heavily for failing to control its volcanos, and warned as to its future conduct.

Then in a few more weeks in early July there is a possible Virgin strike - it just keeps getting better

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

The mother is due to get back from her holiday in America on Thursday morning, so certainly there's the chance she won't get back on time!

A lot of young ladies with their legs well and trully folded in July? uhhoh....

The Goverment moved fast on this one,now it's up to the airlines to decide to fly or not after the balls-up they and the experts made last time.

 

[MillitantSeagull]

Flying to the South of France on Thursday, I hope this really doesn't affect flights.

Dangerously wrong decision IMHO. Nutters like Ryanair will be flying right through it given the chance. It'll now be down to the pilots to tell the airlines to do one.

Cant see many people clicking on this link for the next few days

 

[Driver8]

Taking my caravan to York on Friday but will hopefully be OK.

 

[Rookie]

Meant to be going to the States on Saturday, well impressed!

 

[severnside gull]

I'm flying to Hong Kong and Shanghai on Wednesday morning - flaming typical. Bound to be a problem!

 

[NUFC1892]

Going to Ibiza a week on Wednesday, hopefully it's literally all blown over by then...

I'm supposed to be going to a music festival in Barcelona this weekend (Thursday actually). Am bricking it now!

 

[Grapes of Wrath]

My Mrs is in Crete, and due back on Thursday. It would be terrible if she had to stay and leave me on my own for a few more days!

Nah, even Ryanair won't do it.

Having an aircraft crash can be enough to ruin an airline. The Lockerbie disaster more or less bankrupted Pan-Am, even though it was the result of a terrorist act. The financial burden of losing a plane and it's passengers is phenomenal.

Anyway, since when did Ryanair need an excuse to cancel flights and shut up shop?

 

[Wilko]

Going to Porto next Monday, hope it has all cleared by then
