NAT’s latest update indicates good news – and time for those who want to get out – or get into the country to do their thing.
Only the Orkney Islands are now shut, wit the rest of UK Airspace open for now.
Latest NATS statement:
Update on Monday 17 May, 1300
The CAA has lifted the no-fly zone that has been affecting flights at Heathrow and Gatwick until 1900 (local time) today. The decision comes following further information from the Met Office about the density and location of the ash cloud. There are no restrictions at airports in Northern Ireland, England or Wales during this period.
From 1300-1900 the no-fly zone remains in place only in the Orkney and Shetland Islands.
Note the limit is until 19:00 BST. Expect a decision later on that could change that….
A one of the major reasons why I’m republishing the NATS information is that NATS haven’t got an RSS feed that I can inject directly to this blog. However, I have an RSS Feed. Why not subscribe?
