THE National Air
Traffic Services (NATS) in Britain has issued the
following updated advisory for Friday:
The cloud of volcanic ash continues to cover much of
Britain and the eruption in Iceland continues.
Following a review of the latest Met Office
information, NATS advises that restrictions
preventing flights in English-controlled airspace
will remain in place until 0100 (British time)
tomorrow, Saturday, April 17, at the earliest.
Flights in Northern Ireland and the Western Isles of
Scotland to and from Glasgow and Prestwick will
continue to be allowed until 1900 local time subject
to individual co-ordination. North Atlantic traffic
to and from Glasgow, Prestwick and Belfast may also
be allowed in this period.
From 1900 local time, forecasts indicate that
Scottish airspace may be able to accept domestic
flights within Scotland and Northern/Southern
Ireland, and North Atlantic flights to/from airports
in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
We will review further Met Office information and at
1430 local time we will advise further arrangements.
