Icelandic Volcano Closes UK & Irish Airspace!

I first heard this news at 7 am on Irish Radio.
Didn't realize how bad it was until I turned on Sky News.........of course they are milking it as usual :laugh:

Dublin Airport has just been closed within the last hour and apprently it's the same in the UK.
Gee I hope it's not like this when I fly out on my hols next month!

BBC News - Icelandic volcanic ash alert grounds UK flights
RTÉ News: Volcanic ash to close parts of Irish airspace

I know isn't this unbelievable,our local airport at Norwich was shut by 7am this morning & everything is still cancelled, still makes a change from the "wrong type of snow...!" bringing everything to a halt,I am sure things will be back to normal soon,fingers crossed,you have to feel so sorry for all the poor people due to fly for whatever reason.

Hope things return to normal for you all...

I was in town yesterday for an hour and spotted lots of poor holiday makers getting off buses dressed for the beach and wheling their cases down O'Connell St.
The latest is Dublin Airport has reopened this morning though Ryanair still have many flights to the UK cancelled. The funny thing is Iceland's Airport was unaffected by the volcano!
Lets hope that volcano stops erupting soon :LOL:
