NATS has updated its advice and UK airspace is closed now until 19:00 today. This is going to take days to clear.
Even Qantas is saying expect a week for this to clear.
Fun ahead…
The volcanic ash cloud from Iceland shows continued and extensive cover of the UK. Based on the latest information from the Met Office, NATS advises that the restrictions currently in place across UK controlled airspace will remain in place until at least 1900 (UK time) today, Sunday April 18.
We will continue to monitor Met Office information and will advise on further arrangements at approximately 0900 (UK time) later this morning.
