New Ash Cloud Worry

Uk airports were panicking last night as a fresh volcanic ash plume was heading towards Britain with the travel industry still reeling from last month’s six day closure on UK airspace which cost in excess of £2billion and left thousands of Brits stranded abroad 35000 of which are still believed to be stranded.

Irish airports began grounding flights and its airports will remain shut until 1pm today, with passengers being advised to contact their airlines, Ryanair had grounded all flights in and out of Ireland from 6am-2pm . Aer Lingus also confirmed all its flights due in and out of Dublin, Cork, Shannon and Belfast airports had been cancelled till 1pm.

Thankfully the airspace has now been opened and flights are once again arriving and departing at the Irish airports after tests were carried out and the air quality was deemed safe by officials. UK airports have been unaffected by the recent events.
