According to Sky airports in Nortern Ireland, Scotland and north of a line from Blackpool to Teeside will re-open at 0700 tomorrow. It is that airspace that is due to reopen from that time. It is then up to individual airports to decide when they re-open to traffic. Any flights will clearly be dependent on prevailing conditions at destinations. MAN has just announced it is re-opening from 0900 Tuesday. |

I wrote to Gordon Brown yesterday to complain that nothing had been done for the people really affected by the grounding of aircraft.
I told him to forget about all those whinging holidaymakers who are getting an extra week in the sun, (hotel and food paid for), and concentrate on us, the humble British Plane Spotter.
Looks like he took heed. ;D

Just had a look at Radarvirtual and viewed over three hundred a/c over Europe many of them over Northern Europe, but nothing over the UK except a KLM over Southern England, how can this be.

RadarVirtuel at 11am shows a few DHL flights heading for the southern end of UK airspace or crossing it, also C-FLEU was shown at MCR ? KLM and ICE aircraft also seen. RV is a bit glitchy so not sure how true the reports are.

It's becoming a little confusing at the moment there are several Lufthansa a/c over the UK also a Jet2 757 heading South East over Scotland, plus as mentioned before several hundred a/c over Europe, so if KLM, LUFTHANSA, and Air France are in the air why no UK a/c, have the bods at Nats backed themselves into at corner.

The ash cloud over the UK is currently at a lower level, which is why UK departures & arrivals are effectively curtailed. |
