Firstly, lets get up to speed with who is doing what:
- Aer Lingus – 12 flights affected to and from Scottish Airspace
- BMI flights to and from Aberdeen are subject to delay, but services in and out of Glasgow and Edinburgh were running normally
- British Airways will not be operating any flights between London (LHR/LGW/LCY) and Scotland until 1400 BST
- Eastern Airways will not be operating any services in or out of Scottish airspace
- EasyJet cancelled flights to and from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Aberdeen between 0500 and 1300 BST
- Flybe cancelled flights to and from Aberdeen and Inverness
- KLM has cancelled flights to and from Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley Airport
- Loganair has cancelled 36 flights.
- Ryanair has been advised by the Irish Aviation Authority not to operate flights from Glasgow Prestwick, Edinburgh or Aberdeen until at least 1300 BST but believed that “there is no basis for these flight cancellations”
Weather patterns are all over the shop, and whilst the cloud is predicted to head southwards down the United Kingdom, spreading to Wales, northern England and Northern Ireland by midday and across much of the UK by the end of the day.
The decision to fly or not in ash cloud conditions is down to individual airlines, although they have to apply to the Civil Aviation Authority for final approval.
Again, the best advice is to keep an eye on your airport’s website, your operators website and the links in last nights post.
Safe travels to all.
GhettoIFE will be continuing coverage as and when – The Next Planned Update is 13:00BST.
