Airports Re-Opened

All Uk airspace was re-opened this morning as the wind changed direction and took the fresh ash cloud away from the UK enabling closed Irish airports such as Belfast, Dublin and Derry and Scottish airports Glasgow, Edinburgh and Prestwick to open its doors once more.

Uk airports such as Leeds Bradford and Manchester were on standby to close but thankfully the change of direction in the wind eased fears and the go ahead was given to open closed airspace.

The National Air Traffic Services (NATS) stated the no-fly zone imposed by the Civil Aviation Authority was lifted after the volcanic ash cloud moved west overnight and has now cleared UK airspace, it will continue to work closely with the CAA and the MET Office to track future safety concerns.
