EU vs the Volcano: Round 2

By | April 16, 2010

European airspace continues to be shut down as conditions in the skies continue to remain dangerous. The following areas will likely have all flights cancelled:  Ireland, the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, the north of France including all Paris airports, parts of Germany including Düsseldorf, Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin and the airspace around Frankfurt, parts of Poland including Warsaw airport.

The cloud of ash may continue to disrupt for another day. Some flights may be permitted to leave Scotland and Ireland later Friday, and Sweden is gradually reopening, but the reopening of Dutch and UK Airspace seems to have been pushed back again till Saturday morning. Austrian, Danish, most of German, Czech, Finnish, French, and Polish airspaces are also shut down. The ash cloud is also heading toward Moscow. The situation could cause problems for flights for months.
