Further disruptions from the Icelandic ash cloud appear unlikely after forecasts suggest the Grimsvötn volcano has ceased to emit ash into the atmosphere, this will be welcome news to Scottish airports along with airlines British Airways, Ryanair and Easyjet.
The cloud had caused disruptions to 250 flights earlier in the week but further disruption are not expected for the upcoming bank holiday weekend. The president of the United States Barrack Obama made his visit to the UK earlier to avoid the cloud when he arrived at Stansted airport late on Monday night.
Other travellers opting to go early were the Barcelona football team who face Manchester United in the Champion league final on Saturday night. They weren’t scheduled to fly to London until Thursday but opted to arrive on Tuesday amid fears of ash cloud disruptions.
